Computer version of the VK page: login instructions

The social network VKontakte is the most popular Internet site in Russia and the CIS. Tens of millions of people communicate on this social network every day. But many still have not become regulars on VK and are discovering this portal right now. And, as always when learning something new, novice users have a lot of questions. The functionality of VKontakte, features of working with the site, important settings - all this can be quite complicated for a person who has not previously been closely familiar with social networks. Next, we will try to comprehensively answer the most important questions of interest to new users of the VK website.

Contact - login from computer

How to register and log in to VKontakte?

In order to start using the VKontakte website, you need to go to https://vk.com. In the right column of the page, as shown in the screenshot, there is a registration field. In this field you need to enter the following data:

• first and last name (possibly fake - VK does not approve of “fakes”, but does not prohibit them);
• date of birth (same situation).

VK registration field

By clicking the “Continue Registration” button, the user is prompted to indicate their gender. After checking the appropriate box (male or female), a new page opens. Here you need to enter your phone number. In a matter of seconds, a message will be sent to this number with a code that must be entered to confirm registration.

Registration confirmation using phone number

After entering the code, click the “Confirm” button, and the site will automatically redirect the user to his newly created profile. Registration is completed.

Confirm registration using code

So, after registration, a person enters the site automatically. Then he can fill out the form and use all the functions of the site. At the end of the session, click the “Log Out” button in the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the page, as shown in the screenshot. You don’t have to do this on your personal computer, but if some other person has access to the PC, you need to log out manually. This will avoid the risk of disclosure of confidential information.

Logout button

To log back into the VKontakte website, you need to go to https://vk.com and enter your registration data in the appropriate fields:

• phone number;
• password.

Enter your data as when registering

Important! Users who have registered before sometimes use an email address instead of a mobile number. Now this option is no longer available, so the text “Phone or email” can be considered irrelevant. New users are required to have a phone number.

Login full version

Log in to the page from your computer through a browser. On the monitor is a computer version, “full”. If the monitor has a simplified design, the screen resolution is small and most likely you are holding a tablet or phone :). “Welcome|VKontakte” is the slogan on the main page before logging into the social network.

The site is in Russian. Select your native one below, including the humorous “Pre-revolutionary”, “Soviet”:

The default language depends on the browser settings and operating system.

You can go to your or another page if you have a login and password (we'll talk about this later). Have as many accounts as you want, but it’s more convenient when you have one, personal experience.

The main one consists of 5 module blocks:

1) Authorization block 2) Registration block 3) Login via Facebook 4) Links to official applications 5) Links to website sections (rules, advertising), language selection

The block at the top right is “Phone or email”, “Password” is the authorization form for the page .

3-step authorization:

1. Enter your login. 2. Enter your password. 3. Press the button.

In the “Phone or email” field, enter the login used during registration (no account, please register). Previously, a word in Cyrillic or Latin letters was allowed as a login. To make authorization secure, we introduced a safer option - using a mobile phone. If you haven’t logged into your VKontakte page for a long time and still use the word as your login, indicate your mobile number. Without linking the number to your account, when you try to send a message, a captcha and other inconveniences appear.

Then click the “Login” button. Welcome to the news feed!

If you were unable to log into VK , carefully repeat the procedure; an incorrectly entered phone number or password will lead to failure. Try to specify the phone number in the international standard +7 (code).

Open Word, Notepad and write the password. The problem is that when writing on the site, the characters are displayed as asterisks/dots; if an extra letter is clicked, this is not visible. Capital and small letters are different characters (case sensitive), so enter the password as you specified during registration. Wrote it in Notepad, no extra eyes? Copy and paste into the site, if unsuccessful, go to the section I can’t log in, problems

Check the entered characters, click the eye icon, after which the dots magically become visible, as in the “Field of Miracles” program. An eye will appear when you enter the first character in the field.

If you fail again, click “Forgot your password” and go through the simple recovery procedure. You won’t be able to log into VK without the Internet. Don’t rush to blame hackers or leaky memory, check your connection.

Logging into the page will not cause any serious problems except in cases of theft or account hacking (more about hacking), then it needs to be returned. When recovering your password, technical support may ask for a photograph of a person with a passport in hand. Usually, after such requests, users prefer to create a new page.

How to log in from someone else's computer?

You can safely use the VKontakte website on someone else’s computer. At a party, at work, in a computer class, at the airport - there is nothing difficult about visiting your page. The main thing is not to forget to check the “Someone else’s computer” box, as in the screenshot.

Check the box “Someone else’s computer”

If you checked the box when entering the site, all confidential information will be securely stored. After leaving the site, the login and password in the browser will be automatically deleted, and another PC user will not be able to enter the same page, read personal correspondence, or do any harm. When opening the VK website, another user will see a prompt to enter their own phone number and password.

Deleting a page in VK

Of course, if desired, the VKontakte page can be deleted at any moment. To do this, you do not need to take any special actions. Enough:

1. Enter settings.
2. Scroll the section to the very bottom and click on the “Delete page” hyperlink.
3. In the form that opens, indicate the reason for your decision.

Now the page will be considered deleted, and all information stored on it is hidden from all users. If necessary, your account can be restored. To do this, log into the social network using the login and password of the destroyed page and click the “Restore Page” button. More details about temporary deletion here.

As you can see, the Contact social network is not in vain so popular among users around the globe. Join the army of her fans and you are welcome! And if you have any questions, write in the comments, we will definitely answer them!

How to log into the full (computer) version of the site?

The address https://vk.com is the full version of the site. By clicking on this link, a person gets to the computer version of VKontakte and can use all the functions of the social network in full.

Full computer version of VK version

In addition to the computer version, there is also a mobile version, as well as several convenient official applications for different operating systems (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc.). From a computer, it is best to use the full version: it does not “eat up” traffic, loads quickly and does not freeze even on weak machines.

Applications for logging into social networks from your phone

If you enter “My Page” on VKontakte (without a password) from your own smartphone or tablet, then the data must be entered only the first time you log in.

To fully use the VKontakte social network on your phone, you can install popular applications: VK Coffee (invisible mode), VK MP3 Mod and official VK.

It is recommended that in the “ Security ” section you enable login confirmation via SMS code to the SIM card to which the account is linked. Thus, each time you will need to enter the received code . If you lose data from your PC, you can log in from your mobile device.

How to log into VK from a mobile phone?

A user who wants to visit VKontakte from a mobile phone has 2 options to choose from:

• open the website https://m.vk.com in your browser - this is a lightweight version of VK that retains all the basic functions;
• install a free application from the application store for his gadget.

There is no need to search for the application yourself: when you log in to https://m.vk.com, a link with the text “Install the application” will appear. By clicking on the link, a person is taken to the page of the current version of the application for his device. The application interface is very similar to the mobile version of the site, but it works a little faster, because it is optimized for a specific OS and phone/tablet model.

"Install application" button

How to switch from the mobile version to the full version and back to VK

• On the computer
• On the phone

On the computer

In order to switch from the full version to the mobile version in VK on a computer, you need to add the English letter m with a dot m to the link. before vk After press Enter on the keyboard.

You can switch from the mobile version to the full version in the same way by deleting m. or through the menu.

On the phone

From mobile to full

1. Open the menu by clicking on the icon in the lower right corner.

2. Scroll the menu to the very bottom, then follow the link “Computer version”.

3. Select the same browser in which you opened the mobile version.

From full to mobile

In order to return to the mobile version, you must click on the “Go to mobile version” link. It is located at the bottom of the left column.

What to do if the login and password do not match?

When entering the site, it may turn out that the registration data was entered incorrectly. The first thing to do in such a situation is to make sure that the login and password were entered without errors. The tips that the site itself gives (they are visible in the screenshot) can help. Sometimes it really is a matter of a jammed capslock, an incorrect layout, or a banal typo when entering a complex combination. Checking everything and trying again is the first and main step.

Message if your login or password is entered incorrectly

If this does not help, it means that the user has forgotten his registration data. In this case, you need to click on the “click here” link. A window for restoring access to your VKontakte profile will open. There are 2 options to choose from:

• recover your password using your phone number (only the number used during registration is valid);
• restore access to your account by contacting the site support service.

2 password recovery options

This screenshot shows the interface of the access recovery page. After entering your phone number, you will also need to write the last name of the registered page (not your real one, but exactly the same as in your VK profile).

Enter your last name

The site will automatically show the name and avatar of this page, after which all you have to do is click on the “Yes, this is the right page” button, receive a confirmation code on your phone and continue using the social network.

Click on the “Yes, this is the right page” button

How to bypass the blocking

It happens that VK does not work because it is blocked. Access to the site may be blocked in some countries, for example, in Ukraine. Or in certain places: on a work or school computer, in a cafe, club, hotel.

There are two ways to bypass the blocking: using special programs (VPN) and through anonymizer sites. The programs change the device’s IP to the address of another country, and as a result, the blocking is lifted. And anonymizers are services on the Internet that open blocked resources directly through their website.

Programs to bypass blocking

TunnelBear (tunnelbear.com) is the simplest and most reliable program. Can be used on computers with Windows or MacOs, on Android or Apple mobile devices. They provide 500 MB of traffic per month for free.

Unlimited is paid, but costs only $5 per month. And if you pay for the year at once, it’s 50% cheaper.

To use, you need to install the program and register an account in the system. One account can be used on five devices simultaneously.

Other programs. For a computer, I recommend using the Opera browser from free programs. It has a built-in VPN, which is exactly what you need to change your IP address. It’s turned on like this: Menu – Settings – Security – Enable VPN.

There are also free browser extensions such as Browsec and Hola. But according to reviews, they encrypt poorly. In addition, many users have problems with Contact because of them.

There are many VPN apps for phones and tablets. But they are often unreliable: they do not encrypt traffic and monitor the user. This is especially true for Android devices. If we talk about the most popular ones, then the free ones are Browsec and Hola.

Anonymizers

Anonymizers are sites on the Internet through which you can get to blocked resources without a VPN. You go to such a site, type the Contact’s address there, and the social network opens.

Of the minuses, it should be noted that Contact may work slower and contain additional advertising. Also, the design on it may change slightly - blocks, fonts, etc. may move out.

Chameleon (cameleo.xyz) is the most popular anonymizer. Just type vk.com in the line and click the “Go” button.

2IP (2ip.ru) is a more reliable service, but works a little slower. You can select the country from which you want to open the site. The principle is the same: type the vk.com address in the line and click “Open”.

Is it safe?

The danger of programs and services for bypassing blocking is that they can intercept data. For example, login and password for Contact. They can also monitor your online activities.

How to protect yourself:

1. Use such services only to log into VK. That is, do not use them to work with other sites;
2. Protect your page from hacking.

Another option: use paid services - they are more reliable. These are programs such as ExpressVPN, IPVanish, VyprVPN, NordVPN. Or a paid plan at TunnelBear.

Can I log into the page without knowing my username and password?

So, it’s easy to recover your password if you have a phone number. But there are 2 situations when the above method does not work:

• if the user has lost the SIM card or phone;
• if someone hacked the page and changed all the data (that is, both the password and the phone number).

If you do not have the SIM card you registered with, you will not be able to recover your password. You will have to contact VKontakte technical support to regain access to your profile.

To contact technical support, you must click on the “Click here” link, as in the screenshot. Next, the user will be prompted to enter the address of the page to which access needs to be restored. Another option is to find the page through search.

Button to contact VK technical service

After this, the following window will open where you will be asked to enter:

• the phone number to which the page is registered;
• any available phone number (it must not be linked to any VKontakte page);
• password (not necessarily the last one, just any one ever used).

Next is the standard procedure for receiving a confirmation code via SMS. The message will be sent to an available number.

After entering the code, a window with instructions will appear. Everything is very clear here, but you will have to spend some time. Firstly, the support agent needs a photo of the user in the background of the current page (the same one in the screenshot). Secondly, you need a scan or high-quality photo of your passport, driver’s license, or any other document that contains your name, surname and photo. If both photos match, the support agent will unblock access to the page. But you need to wait for an answer from him. The time varies - most often from 2 hours to 2 days.

Instruction window

Important! The support service will not help if your VKontakte profile contains a fake first and last name. This is the only case where data authenticity really matters. By deciding to provide “fake” data, the user takes away the opportunity to regain access to the page in case of complete loss.

Login without password or login

Authorization occurs after the system confirms a valid login-password pair; without them it is impossible to enter VKontakte. also impossible to access VKontakte without registration. Logging in without an account is a fantasy. When you need to look at someone else's account that is available for viewing by registered users, try looking for a copy of the page on the Internet. Authorized bots parse account information and post a copy on third-party sites. You will find copies by searching in Google/Yandex for the person’s id, first name, last name. This is how my page became available to strangers even without a password, or rather its information. What to do if you are registered, but don’t remember the details? Logging into VKontakte without a password is possible only after recovery; there are two ways:

1. Automatic recovery via phone or e-mail that was used 2. “Manual” contacting technical support. A prerequisite for this method is the presence of real photos on the page.

Follow the recovery prompts further.

What to do if the page is “frozen”?

“Freezing” VKontakte pages is an automatic method of combating spam, bot mailings and other unwanted things. But sometimes it happens that an absolutely real user gets frozen. Most often this happens if a person has sent some links to his friends or done too many likes and reposts. In addition, pages are usually frozen when hacking attempts are not very successful.

“Freezing” the VK page

When you try to log into the site, a message appears stating that the page has been “frozen”. Restoring access is very easy - the already familiar procedure of entering the number to which the VK profile is registered and receiving a code via SMS will help. If the code is entered correctly, all that remains is to log in to the site using your phone number and password. But the password will most likely have to be changed immediately to avoid a second hacking attempt.

Login through the mobile version of the site, functionality of the mobile version

To get into mobile VKontakte, you should follow exactly the same steps as for the full version of VK for a computer. Just link your phone number and then enter the password for the page.

This product is constantly updated, so the functionality is no different from what you see in your browser. Currently you can access the following features:

• search, listen and view materials of various nature;
• it is possible to open and visit the “Answers” ​​and “Comments” tabs;
• You can access various kinds of news, recordings, groups, as well as a camera with a variety of filters.

Each update improves the stability of the application, and also introduces exclusive features.

Now in the option under consideration you can find an indicator to see that a person is typing a message to you. Thanks to this, you can view new posts without refreshing the page.

All sections are collapsed for easier access to the menu. And in the news tab, you no longer need to perform unnecessary manipulations to load new posts.

You can add multiple photos to form an album and then show it to your friends. It’s especially cool that you can attach a photo to the written text, because this will bring more meaning to what you read. Don't forget to include your location to make it easier for your followers to find you.

When you go to a person’s page, you can find all the information about him that he indicated. You can see the date you were last online.

Don't forget to visit the sections where new user entries are shown. You can access them not only on your phone, but also on VK from your computer.

In order not to remember the birth dates of subscribers, a reminder function was invented. If necessary, you can give virtual gifts, but keep in mind that they are paid.

What should I do if my page is blocked?

Blocking a page is a much more serious case than freezing. If a page is banned, it means that the user violated the rules of the site, and they complained about him to technical support. Blocking can be of 2 types:

• temporary (until a certain date);
• permanent (forever).

Permanent blocking of VK page

It is impossible to bypass the blocking. You can only try to appeal it - VKontakte immediately offers to contact support. But you can only apply for a ban to be lifted if the blocking occurred by mistake. For example, a page was hacked and after that the rules of the site were violated, and the original owner of the profile was not guilty of anything.

If the user himself is to blame for the blocking, then he has 2 options:

• in case of temporary blocking, wait until its period expires;
• in the case of permanent (or if you don’t want to wait) - create a new page.

Why do you need the full version of VK, why is it better than the mobile one?

Only in the full version are all the features of the site available that are not available in the mobile version or in phone applications. For example, creating a request for support agents. In addition, in the full version there are no restrictions when restoring access to the page and, in general, there are much fewer problems with this - especially with attaching photos and entering a confirmation code. It also makes it easier to understand the reasons for blocking a page and unblock it. Therefore, for such matters, we recommend always using the full version of the VKontakte website.

When I try to log in, VK writes that “The web page is unavailable.” What to do?

Many users are faced with the inability to access VKontakte. The site itself works stably and without any complaints; short glitches occur no more than once a year. Therefore, if VK suddenly turns out to be unavailable, you need to look for the reason at home.

Web-page is unavailable

The most common reasons for this phenomenon:

• ban at the state level (as, for example, in Ukraine from June 2022);
• ban on the use of social networks in the workplace;
• the most common thing is problems with access to the Internet.

If VKontakte has been banned by the state, you can bypass the block by installing a VPN client. In Russia, it is also necessary, because Roskomnadzor blocks access to certain groups and public pages, and you can only get there from a foreign IP address. VPN clients come in both paid and free versions. One of the most convenient free options is the FriGate browser extension. This extension automatically changes the user's IP address to a foreign one and thus allows him to bypass VKontakte blocking.

FriGate browser extension

If an evil employer has blocked VK to prevent employees from shirking work, the method of solving the problem remains the same. Usually certain IP addresses are blocked, and as soon as you install FriGate or any other extension, the blocking disappears without a trace.

What functions does my VK page have?

A VKontakte profile is a very multifunctional thing. Without exaggeration, this is a whole life on the display of a computer or mobile phone. The screenshot shows a list of the main functions of the page, but the capabilities of a registered user are by no means limited to this list.

List of main page functions

The key functionality of the VK page is as follows:

• instant exchange of text and audio messages without restrictions (except for individual user privacy settings);
• listening to music, viewing photo and video materials;
• reading news and other content in groups and on public pages;
• creating your own groups and public pages to share your own creativity or interesting information;
• sending text (and other) documents;
• sending and receiving money directly through personal messages;
• flash games, tests, useful applications.

This is just the beginning of the list of VKontakte features. To fully explore it, you need to explore the site yourself. Among other things, VK is the largest information platform where you can find more relevant and interesting things than in any online news publication.

Music in VK

Music is an integral part of VKontakte. You can add your favorite tracks to the section with audio recordings, listen to them, and, if desired, download them to your computer or mobile device. Recently, the VK administration introduced some restrictions on listening to music. Now there is such a thing as “Subscription” - access to all audio content of a social network, which involves freely listening to tracks without advertising, in the background, from a smartphone with a locked screen, saving and playing music offline. Since “Subscription” is a paid service, not every person is ready to use it constantly. However, some ways have already been found to easily circumvent the restrictions. You can learn more about this from the article “How to listen to music on VK without a subscription?”

What is an avatar? How to change it?

An avatar is a photo or image in a VKontakte user profile. By default, immediately after registration, there is no avatar on the page. To install it, you need to hover your mouse over the photo location, as shown in the screenshot, and select the “Update Photo” option from the pop-up menu. Next, you will be asked to download the finished image from your hard drive or take a photo with your webcam.

Update Photo button

Once the avatar is installed, you can change its thumbnail (a small section of the image shown next to the profile name), as well as add various effects through the built-in photo editor. You can change your avatar at any frequency an infinite number of times.

Can I see what my page looks like from the outside?

There are 2 options to look at your page from the outside:

1. Copy the page address, exit your VK profile, and then follow the link. Then the page will be displayed as unregistered users see it. But the privacy settings should indicate that the page is visible to everyone (as in the screenshot).
2. Use the third-person view of the page. This feature is also located in the privacy settings (at the very bottom of the screenshot). By clicking on the link, you can view the page on behalf of a random VKontakte user.

Go to “Settings”

Then "Privacy"

Then “See how other users see your page”

Select the required user and look

When viewing a third-person profile, you can select a specific user. Either one of your friends, or a person found through a search. After all, often, depending on privacy settings, friends see more than strangers. Comparing the profile view of a friend and a stranger is a good idea if the user is concerned about their privacy.

“In Contact”: welcome to “My Page”!

The VKontakte start screen will greet users with a structured menu, with the help of which they navigate through social services. networks. The left menu and the top panel remain constant, and the central part displays information about the open profile (your account, a friend of a third-party user, a group, etc.)

#1 Left menu

The left menu is intended for navigating through your profile, so when viewing communities or accounts of other users, it remains unchanged.

The items that appear in the left column can be customized. 4 sections are required to be displayed:

• My page. This link is an opportunity for VKontakte users to go directly to their page from anywhere on the service of someone else’s profile, group or game.

• News is a section that accumulates notifications about all important events: comments, photos of friends, etc.
• Messages is a section in which correspondence is stored and carried out.

• Friends - a menu where you can see a list of all friends and friend requests; Through this menu, the user can write messages, delete contacts or group them (for example, “classmates”, “relatives”, “people from a party on Friday”).

All other items in the left menu can be added or hidden at your discretion:

• Audio. This displays the number of audio recordings you have and the three most recently added. Clicking on a block will open a page with all the rest of your music.

• Video. The last two added videos will be displayed here - you need to click on the block to go to the list of all your videos.

• Wall with notes. You can choose whether all posts will be displayed, including what your friends wrote to you, or only your posts and reposts.

• Groups and profiles that are in your subscriptions;
• Present. The last 3 gifts are displayed here; when you click on the block, a list of all gifts received during the existence of the page will open.

• Friends. Your friends and the block with online friends are displayed here.

By the way, when viewing the accounts of other users or groups, only part of the information may be visible - this depends on the privacy settings of the profile owner. You can change them at any time.

How can I find out detailed information about my VK page?

You can view detailed information about your profile in the “Page Statistics” section. A small part of the information available in this section is shown in the screenshot. But in order for this section to become available, you must have at least 100 subscribers (friends do not count). Some use free bots for these purposes, but this trick looks rather ugly. However, if you really want to, who forbids it?

Important! There are also numerous Internet sites that allow you to view detailed and hidden data of both your page and any other. These sites offer a lot of interesting information, but you need to be careful with them. There is a risk of encountering scammers who will try to intercept the page password and, accordingly, hack it.

Download VK on iOS

If you are the proud owner of an iPhone, you can download a special client. Just go to the AppStore to get access to the full mobile part. The installation file weighs about 60 MB, so it can be installed on any device. Some updates are not liked by consumers, but developers are trying to quickly correct all the shortcomings. Lately, a lot of effort has been put into working on optimization, so there are fewer and fewer dissatisfied comments.

How to close a page from strangers?

It's very easy to hide your profile from prying eyes. Everything is set up in just a couple of minutes. You just need to go to the settings of the VKontakte website, select the “Privacy” section and limit access to others. In most rows, you can select the "Only me" option, which will mean that no one except the page owner will see his date of birth, photo albums, music playlist, friends list and much more.

Go to “Settings”

Then "Privacy"

Select the necessary options

At the bottom of the Privacy section, you can also turn off the visibility of updates. It is enough to uncheck the boxes next to each item in the drop-down list so that friends, and especially strangers, cannot see new uploaded photos, videos, music compositions, as well as new friends of the page owner.

I can’t log into my history clearing page. I enter the last version of the password, but it doesn’t work. Help

I can’t access my page from my computer, it requires an update for my mobile phone, but I can’t log out from my phone, only from my PC

Hello, Natalia! We recommend that you try changing your browser and check that the link to navigate to is correct.

Hello, I can’t log into my “forgot my password” page, I click on this button and it asks me for my photo and passport photo. I send him everything, but in the end he doesn’t restore it because my page is not for my first and last name. What should I do?

Hello Stefania. Nothing. Moderators actively monitor fake pages. And yours is essentially like that.

I forgot my password, I just remember my login

Hello, Ekaterina! To restore access to the page, use the “Forgot password” form. If you have access to a phone number linked to the page, a code will be sent to it. If not, you will need to confirm that the page is yours.

I can’t log into my page, I don’t remember the password, I have double protection and therefore SMS go not to the phone but to the page, tell me what to do

Hello, Ksyunya. Two-factor protection, when it comes to that, doesn't work that way. It is impossible to send messages to the page. So the problem is something else. Most likely, either the number is specified incorrectly, or you have protection against SMS from short numbers. Try the moment after pressing the “forgot password” button and use the “no access to phone” button

I forgot my password, I can’t recover it through the mobile version because when checking whether it’s a robot or not, the case doesn’t move, it just hangs that I’m not a robot

Hello, Elena! You need to complete the captcha and confirm that you are not a robot. As a last resort, try reinstalling the application.

Hello. I can’t access my page from the path, it transfers directly to the mobile version. AND SO FROM ALL SITES. help me please

Hello, Dasha. If we understand you correctly, are you trying to open VK through a smartphone, but would like to use the computer version? Is everything right? If yes, then use the “Computer version” button on the right side of your browser or in the application using the instructions from the article.

Hello, I deleted the page but I remember the phone number, how can I restore it?

Hello. If 210 days have not passed, you can restore the page simply by logging into your profile. There will be a “Restore Page” button. If you do not remember your password, use the “Forgot password” option when logging in

Block "Interesting pages". Why is it needed? How to remove it?

VKontakte is primarily a social network, and it is common to meet people on it. Therefore, the site offers each new user (and often not a new one, if he is quite passive) the “Interesting Pages” block. It appears in the “News” section and is a mini-collage of avatars and names of several popular profiles. The implication is that the user will want to add these profiles to their friends list or at least follow them.

This block is practically useless, but it is quite difficult to remove it. If you click on the “cross”, the “Interesting Pages” will disappear only for a while, after which they will appear again. To get rid of the annoying block once and for all, you need to join several interesting groups, subscribe to public pages, and add several friends. This will fill the "News" section, and there will be no need to display "Pages of Interest". The site will simply stop showing them.

Login to “My Page” on VKontakte without a password - 1st method

Go to the initial (main) page of the site:

Login to my VKontakte social network page (opens in a new window)

1. Click the link "Forgot your password?».

2. In the window that appears, enter llogin, email address (e-mail) or phone number, which are used to enter the page. After completing these steps, press the button "Further".

3. In the new window that opens, enter Last name, which is indicated in the created profile, click "Further".

4. If the data provided by the system matches, you should confirm this by clicking on the active confirmation button.

5. to the phone number linked to the page within a few minutes . It should be entered into the form located on this page, then click “Change password” .
6. Enter a new password.
7. A message will be sent to the specified number containing all the required data for logging in.

Having lost the personal data required to log in, it is useless to look for them on the site itself. It is impossible to log into your “My Page” profile if it is blocked or directly from the vk.com website without using a password. Having correctly completed all the specified steps, you will be able to log in and use the page without any problems using the new password.

Why can't I leave comments on posts?

Any VKontakte user can comment on posts of other users, as well as groups and public pages. If there is no field for entering comments, this can only mean one thing: the page owner has prohibited adding comments in the privacy settings.

Important! The owner of a group or “public” can also block a specific user. But in this case, a person will not only be able to leave comments, but also view the posts themselves.

I can’t log in, what should I do?

I can’t log into the VK page. Why does this happen, causes, treatment:

• Forgot your password - reset it.
• Invalid login/phone number - remember or set a new one when restoring.
• Internet connection problems - contact your provider.
• Temporary site glitch - please wait.
• Browser crashes - clear the cache, restart the browser.
• If the page is blocked, write to support.
• The application is not working correctly on your phone - reinstall the application, restart your smartphone.

For the first 2 reasons, the screen displays: “VKontakte access error” or “Unable to pass authorization.” When the Internet is interrupted: “Web page is unavailable.” Make sure that this is a connection failure and not a site glitch, press Ctrl+F5 in the browser: the hotkey combination will reload the browser and clear the cache. If it doesn’t help, check the operation of the social network using the service described in the article. It is not always possible to restore access to a blocked profile; it depends on the degree of the violation and the duration of the punishment.

Why can’t I log into VK when the Internet is working, the site is 100% accessible and it’s not a matter of the password? The conclusion is obvious: the browser or application (when you try to log in with your phone) does not work correctly! Try another computer browser, restart your phone, reinstall the application.

If you couldn’t solve the problem, write in the comments, the collective wisdom will help.

Is it possible to open a private profile?

Here you need to think logically. If a private profile could be opened to any user, there would simply be no point in it. In this case, VK developers simply would not introduce such a mode. Considering the level of capabilities of the owners of the social network, it will not be difficult for them to create a fairly reliable mechanism for hiding personal data.

It is worth recalling that a hidden profile should serve as protection, including from surveillance of the user by intelligence agencies. It becomes obvious that it is not possible to hack the VKontakte service so easily. Those who rely on vulnerabilities that sometimes slip into social networks should understand that they are quickly corrected.

So it means you can’t view a closed VK page? Not really. Yes, this task is difficult and luck must be present here, then you can see part of the information you are looking for in a roundabout way. However, in most cases the only workable solution is to use the provided laws of the system.
