Qiwi password recovery

Selecting a password for the Qiwi system

So, it’s probably worth starting with choosing the most effective security code. This is a rather interesting question, because it is worth understanding that authorization in Qiwi requires confirmation by SMS. And, even if you can log in without confirmation, then in any case, any transfer, any wallet setting or changing parameters will require you to confirm via SMS. Therefore, you might think that a complex password is not needed in principle.

Partly it is. But, nevertheless, one should not forget that with the development and strengthening of security systems, new and more sophisticated methods of hacking appear. And to simplify the task with an easy cipher is not worth it. After all, it’s your money. Therefore, when you assign a password, you should still approach its choice responsibly. And here are a few simple rules of what NOT to do:

• No need to associate it with some significant dates in your life (birthdays (your, friends, children, parents, and so on), wedding, etc.), with addresses and other numbers that known not only to you.
• Do not use names, animal names, bank account numbers and so on.
• Do not use the names of some significant places for you, translations of some words. Don’t use words at all.

The main thing is that it should not be some kind of word that sooner or later can be picked up. It should be a simple set of meaningless characters (letters and numbers).

If the password was forgotten

First, let’s figure out what to do if you just can’t remember the character set required to enter the system, let’s decide how to restore access.

Alas, forgetting passwords has become a habit among our citizens. Fortunately, the Qiwi payment system provided for such a turn of events, because each client has the opportunity to restore the entrance to the Qiwi wallet by phone number.

The algorithm of actions taken is as follows:

1. Go to the operator’s website.
2. Find the link “Forgot your password?” and click on it.
3. Write the number in the pop-up window. Since you linked the SIM card to your profile, the digits of the wallet number are identical to your phone number. Write them.
4. Transfer the proposed test character set to the next line.
5. Click on “Next”.

The easiest way is for users who did not forget to enter their email address during registration. In this case, all the necessary instructions will be sent to the mailbox. They will tell you how to reset your password.

You can also return access if there is no e-mail data in your Qiwi account. A special code will be sent to your mobile phone. It should be entered in the reset box for the current character set. Next, you need to set a new password from Qiwi and start using your wallet.

Why Qiwi authorization expired

Authorization validity period can be understood as two things:

1. Wallet idle time. That is, when you entered your personal account, and after some time of inactivity, the system asks you to log in again. This is one way to protect personal data, for example, if you logged in through a public network (somewhere in an Internet cafe) and forgot to log out of your account.
2. Your password has expired.

If everything is clear in the first case (you just need to re-authorize in the Qiwi wallet), then the second option leaves some questions. For example, what to do if the Qiwi password has expired. It should immediately be clarified that this payment system has such a rule – the security code must be changed after a certain time.

This is done in your personal account (LC). The whole procedure does not take much time and does not require special knowledge. You will have to follow a few simple steps:

• Log in to your account.
• Next, go to the “Settings” section.
• After that, in the menu on the left, find the “New password” section.
• On the page that opens, you just need to enter the old security code and come up with a new one according to all the above rules. Remember that the new cipher must not be the same as the old one.

It is advisable to leave the “Disable all applications” checkbox so that you have to log in again on all devices. The above instructions are only suitable if you change the password beforehand. But, if you didn’t keep track, and it so happened that the Qiwi password has expired, then you will have to go through the procedure for restoring access to the wallet.

If the SIM card is lost

It’s harder to fix the situation without a phone. If you have lost your mobile phone or SIM card, the question of how to find out the password is much more difficult to solve. The problem is even more aggravated when there is no link to e-mail.

In such situations, we restore the login codes by contacting the support service. To do this, you need to enter the Qiwi resource in the “Help” section and select the appropriate icon. In the “Visa Kiwi Violet” tab, click “Other”. In the “Other topic” paragraph, you should describe in detail that the SIM card is lost, as a result of which you cannot enter your account. You must specify the phone number to which the account is linked and email to send messages with instructions.

In parallel with solving the issue of restoring the Qiwi wallet, order a new SIM card. The procedure for obtaining it is much simpler. The electronic media upon receipt will simplify the task of logging into your Qiwi account.

How to restore access to your Qiwi account

This procedure may be required in different cases:

1. The code has expired.
2. Forgot your code.
3. The wallet is blocked.

We note right away that further we will talk about passwords. If your wallet has been blocked, then the recovery procedure will be slightly different. More details about this will be in another article “Qiwi Wallet blocked”.

And now let’s look at how to restore Qiwi wallet if the code has expired or you forgot your password.

It is worth noting that recovery can be done in several ways:

• Using a mobile phone is the most convenient and fast way.
• Via email – this option is required only if for some reason you do not have access to your mobile phone.
• Through the support service – leave a request to restore access.

Each of the options is suitable for a specific situation. Let’s look at them in more detail.
