You may not be anticipating being locked out of Snapchat, but things happen. Nonetheless, this post will teach you how to get back into your Snapchat account by bypassing the verification code.
The only issue is that if you did not set up a few things or save your recovery code before logging out, you may never be able to log back in without your verification code. Many Snapchat users have had their accounts deleted as a result of this, but you won't be one of them after reading this post.
Take note of the following Snapchat security features:
- Recovery codes
- Two-factor authentication
- Verification codes
These layers of protection work together to keep your Snapchat account safe.
How Snapchat Verification Code Security Works
You will receive a recovery code in your phone when you enable two-factor authentication on Snapchat. Because you'll need this code to log into your Snapchat account, you should keep it secure. You can write it down or store it in a document for later use.
You'll receive your verification code anytime you connect into your Snapchat account on a separate device now that you've enabled two-factor authentication. Assume you've recently purchased a new smartphone. You'll need to transfer your Snapchat account to the new phone, and Snapchat allows you to do that. Unfortunately, you won't be able to migrate your account to a new device without a recovery code, which means you won't be able to avoid Snapchat verification. It also implies that the account is inaccessible, at least for the time being.
As you continue on, you'll discover how to regain access to your account. Let's take a look at what you need to do now to avoid being locked out of your Snapchat account in the future.
Can You Bypass Snapchat Verification Login?
Unless you receive a message from Snapchat after inputting your phone number in the app or an email from Snapchat, you won't be able to circumvent Snapchat authentication. However, if none of these options are accessible and you do not know your password, your account may be deleted.
How to Bypass Snapchat Verification Code
Before you continue reading, keep in mind that if you use the same device to access your Snapchat account, you won't need to verify it. You'll need your verification code if you use a different device.
You can't get around the Snapchat verification and recovery codes. The reason for this is that if you are unable to submit your verification code, you will want a recovery code in order to restore your account.
The following are some methods for getting around the Snapchat verification code:
- Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication
Snapchat has a feature called two-factor authentication that stops anyone from entering into your account without verification from other devices. If you try to log into your Snapchat account on a different device, Snapchat will ask you to input your verification code because your previous phone is still linked to your account. SMS might be used to send the verification code to your phone.
Let's look at how you may confirm your Snapchat 2-factor security:
- Launch your Snapchat application.
- Go to your profile by clicking your profile picture at the top of the screen.
- Click Settings (a reg gear icon at the top-right of your screen).
- Click Two-Factor Authentication.
- Click Continue and choose where you want Snapchat to send your verification code. You can ac receive your verification via SMS or any two-factor authentication application such as Duo Mobile and Google Authenticator.
You will no longer require a recovery code because you are now logged in.

- Creating Recovery Code
You've got your two-factor authenticator now. After that, you'll need to produce your recovery code. As previously said, you must save your recovery code somewhere you will remember it. You may save it as a document by sending it as an email to your primary email account, or you can scribble it in your notepad. If required, you may create an infinite number of Gmail accounts to save your code.
When you have your Snapchat recovery code, you do not require a phone number to log into the account.
Note: You can’t generate a recovery code for Snapchat if you can’t access the account. You must be logged in.
Below are the steps to generate your recovery code for Snapchat:
- Go to your Snapchat profile by clicking your profile icon at the top of the screen.
- Go to Settings.
- Click Login Verification. You will be prompted to enter your verification code. You can choose to receive it as an SMS or from your two-factor authenticator application.
- Type in your verification code.
- Generate your recovery code and save it.
Make sure your recovery code is kept somewhere you'll be able to find it again in the future. If you lose access to the phone associated with your Snapchat account, Snapchat may not be able to help you.
Note: You can’t generate a recovery code for Snapchat if you can’t access the account. You must be logged in.

- Recovering Snapchat from a Lost Device
Have you misplaced the device to which your Snapchat account is attached, or have you recently purchased a new smartphone? The issue is that your old phone is still attached to your account, and Snapchat still sees it as your legitimate method of signing in. You won't be able to access your account from another device because Snapchat believes someone is attempting to hack your account in the same manner that a Facebook account may be hacked.
You can connect into your Snapchat account without Snapchat verification if you unlinked your previous device before it was stolen.
- Open your Snapchat account.
- Go to your Profile by clicking the profile icon at the top of your screen.
- Click Settings.
- Click Login Verification.
- Select Forget Devices. Snapchat will show you a list of devices linked to your account. Now, click the ‘X’ button next to your old device to unlink it.
Note: If you accidentally unlink your current device, you may re-link it using two-factor authentication.
Without your recovery code, you won't be able to retrieve your Snapchat account. Unless you submitted it to your inbox as a document, your email address will not help.

Final Thoughts
If your recovery code is lost, you won't be able to skip the Snapchat verification code. Snapchat asks you to validate your two-factor authentication if you lose your phone. Because you can't validate your account, you'll need your recovery code to go beyond Snapchat verification. You don't need a phone number to log into your Snapchat account if you have your recovery code. If you created a Snapchat account using a foreign phone number, you don't need the exact number to access it unless you set your Snapchat authentication to SMS on that number.
