How to register on VKontakte without a phone number:

VKontakte login to your personal page.

As soon as they call it, everyone’s favorite and also the most popular social network in RuNet: “Contact”, “VK”, “”, “VKontakte”, etc. There may be many names, but the essence is the same, home page VKontakte, and the page on which you log into VK is located at: http://vk.com or you can go to http://vkontakte.ru, you will still be redirected to it. Good luck!

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. This is another article for those who are just beginning their acquaintance with the Internet (recently, for example, I wrote about that). Indeed, it is not always immediately clear to everyone how to get your own page, whether you can trust the system with your phone number (after all, without indicating it, registering a new user on this moment impossible), how you can get into Contact, and how you shouldn’t.

Also, many would not mind (well, in your sense, it’s just called that) what “status” is and why it is so important. Also: what is a “wall”, why sometimes you can’t log into VK, how to recover your password, how to contact technical support (including when you can’t log in with your username and password) and many others simple questions, which are not so easy to find answers on the Internet. By the way, we’ve already talked to you :)

Today I want to start from the very beginning - registration, options entrance in Contact (including without entering a login and password, although this is only possible from mobile devices, but it is possible), designing your page, and I also want to talk about solving common problems, preventing you from logging into VK and starting to enjoy communication (this also, unfortunately, often happens). Don't be afraid, it won't hurt, just a little ticklish 😛

Login to your VKontakte website page without unnecessary risk

Guys, I’ll immediately make a reservation that, contrary to logic, I want to start not with registering a new user, but with logging into this social network, because here lies a lot of nuances that will be useful for many to know. Firstly, your data from your VKontakte account may well be a source of income for all sorts of “radishes”, so I urge you to be vigilant. Secondly, it won’t always be great if other people (even strangers to you) gain access to your account, so you should think in advance about how to avoid this. But first things first.

Login to the page you created It's best to do it this way:


What to do if you can’t get into Contact?

Also right away (even before explaining the process of registering a new user) I want to go over the most common reasons, which cause problems with logging into this social network. Well, and show everything possible ways resolution of this, quite often (we are all people, we are all human...).

Most often, of course, the reason for the problems that arise with logging into VK is our own inattention, but it is not always possible to analyze where exactly we are doing something wrong and what is worth looking at first when similar problem came up, but I really want to communicate...

Why you may not be able to log in to VKontakte:

  1. Pay attention to something like button " Caps Lock» . You can find out whether it is turned on or not by the glowing eye either on the button itself (it is the leftmost one in the middle row of keys) or on the panel in the upper (or upper right) area of ​​the keyboard. If the eye is lit, it means the button was pressed by you or someone else, and thereby you activated the typing of all characters on the keyboard in upper case (instead of lowercase letters capital letters will be printed).

    Why is this so important? The fact is that the password you enter when trying to log in to VKontakte is case-sensitive, i.e. in it, the lowercase Latin letter “a” cannot be replaced by the same capital letter. Actually, if the password was visible when you entered it on the VK website, then you yourself would understand that something is wrong here, and you would start looking for the reason. But since the password is not visible when you enter it (each of the characters you enter is replaced by a dot), it is not easy to track it.

    For clarity, you can enter the password in some text editor, and then in the input field on the Contact website - this will completely eliminate the influence of unforeseen factors, for example, those associated with accidentally pressing the “Caps Lock” key

  2. Look at what position it is in input language switch on your computer. Typically this is indicated in the lower right corner of the screen (in the so-called tray). If it says “RU” or something else other than “en”, then you will need to switch the input language to English. You can simply click on this icon and select desired language, or you can use hotkeys (most often it’s either Shift+Alt or Shift+Control).

    Why might this prevent you from logging into your VKontakte page? Well, again, because when you enter a password on the VK website, you do not see the characters that you enter, and if you have the Russian language selected, then you enter instead Latin letters their Russian counterparts, which live on the same keyboard buttons. VKontakte doesn’t understand you (but I understand 🙂) and mercilessly blocks your entry as if you were entering the wrong password.

  3. Sometimes a problem can be caused by an enraged one, which will automatically translate the layout into a language you don’t need. Usually he understands that a password is being entered and there is no point in misbehaving, but there are failures. Just in case, I’ll inform you that to force the translation of the typed word to another layout when Punto Switcher is turned on, just click on the Pause\Break key at the top of the keyboard.

    However I myself have not entered passwords manually for a long time Almost anywhere and at the same time I have no problems with entry. At the same time I get very secure storage for hundreds and thousands of passwords, to enter which you only need to press a combination of three keys. That is, on any site (Kontakte, Odnoklassniki, WebMoney, etc.) I type a three-finger key combination and log in (log in) without any problems. The key here is “any”.

    Interesting? Do you want to learn? Are you ready to spend half an hour and then not have any problems with passwords at all? Then read the manual for working with . Don't be lazy, because everything will pay off handsomely. Chesslovo :)

  4. Even with such a powerful resource as Contact happen local and even global failures. In the first case, problems with logging in may occur only for some users, in the second - for all. Most often the problem is local in nature. If you are sure that you entered the password correctly (and you did not forget it - it was securely saved, written down or remembered in the browser), then contact the social network's technical support service However, the problem is that you can write a message to technical support from the Vkontatka website only after authorization (login) on this page, and this is exactly what you have a problem with. What to do? Don't despair. Just write them an email at [email protected] with a description of the login problem. If so, then he can use it.
  5. If, instead of the Vkontatka website, you end up on an incomprehensible resource (maybe similar in appearance) or even just see a “white page”, then do not check for the presence of lines with vk.com there. If they are there, then feel free to delete them. All the details are described in the link provided.
  6. Problems with logging into your VKontakte page may also arise if infection your computer or mobile device viruses. In this case, for example, they may demand money from you for entry, which in no case should you do, because you will be deceived anyway. You just need to cure your computer and everything will work itself out. VK itself, by the way, offers you your Cezurity antivirus, which can be downloaded for free. For Android they recommend this product from a domestic developer.
  7. Your page could have blocked in VK itself (moderators). At the same time, a message appears indicating the timing and reason for the blocking, and also provides a link to security instructions that will help you avoid blocking in the future. It will not be possible to unlock it before the specified period and you should not fall for offers to do this for money from third-party craftsmen - this is a scam for money and nothing more.
  8. , that’s why it’s impossible to log into Contact (the burglar might have managed to change the password). In this case, you will need to go to this tab https://vk.com/restore(if the account was linked to a phone number) or on this https://vk.com/restore?act=return_page(if there was no connection to the phone or you no longer own this number).

What to do if you forgot your password and cannot log into VK?

You can try to find the password. How? Well, it all depends on your previous actions. For example, you could save it in your browser when you first logged in (logged in) to your VKontakte page. Don't remember? Did you save it?

If yes, then try going to vk.com and double click on the login line. If you do this in Chrome, Opera, Yandex Browser or Mazil, you will be offered a list of logins, and when you select the appropriate one, the password may be automatically entered. In the old Opera, you could press the keyboard shortcut Control+Enter.

Happened? No. It is quite possible that you saved the password when you first logged in, but it doesn’t want to come out. Can go inside the browser and get him out of there. How to do it?


If you couldn’t find the password to log into the social network, you can try to restore it (more precisely, get a new one):


Registering a new user in VKontakte

We finally got to registration. Actually, there’s nothing special about that, that’s why I wanted to push it back a little, because there was something to say about authorization (login) and the problems and nuances that arise, but here’s what... Well, registering a new user... Well, in VK ...

However, there are several nuances here too. Little ones like this:

  1. Firstly, recently When registering on VKontakte, they began to require you to indicate your number mobile phone . It would be nice if you just pointed it out. No, the entire account is linked to it, and you won’t be able to specify a set of numbers, because to confirm the number you will have to enter a confirmation code at one of the registration stages, which will be sent to your phone in the form of an SMS message. That is, you won’t be able to evade the exposure of your mobile phone.

    On the one hand, this is significant increases safety work and it is now much more difficult for hackers to hack and steal your VKontakte account, because to do this they will have to have access to your mobile phone, or in some cunning way force you to provide the confirmation code that came to it (however, this is possible due to social engineering).

    On the other hand, if something happens it will not be difficult to find you in real life(for example, to the competent authorities), because it is quite difficult to buy a SIM card from us without a passport. Those. You you lose anonymity, and with it permissiveness, which many will not like.

  2. Secondly, only one phone number can be linked to one profile (account) on VKontakte. This makes life much more difficult for those who different ways earns money in VK and he needs to have and constantly create more and more new accounts. Of course, they find a way out, but... ordinary users, if you want to have several accounts in Contact, you will have to splurge on a certain number of SIM cards. If you try to enter a previously used mobile phone number during registration, it will not work, or you will be offered.

These are the nuances - trivial for some, but problematic for others. Actually, the registration process itself begins with filling out on the page https://vk.com fields with your first/last name and clicking on the button "Register".

They will also ask you about your gender, but already literally next step registration of a new user in a non-alternative form will be offered indicate your mobile phone number and immediately press the confirmation button to enter the code received at this number. You won’t be able to evade or cheat at this step. If you have nothing to fear, then feel free to enter your mobile phone number and continue the registration process.

Then a multi-step wizard comes into play, helping the system collect as much information about you as possible. more information so that in this social network there would be as few unfilled profiles as possible. Here you are asked to select the school you attended, university, add friends, connect pages from other social networks, etc. If you wish, you can skip all this by clicking the button of the same name at the very bottom of the VK registration wizard window.

Everything after this New user ends up on his completely new and still practically unfilled VKontakte page. Actually, this is the so-called "My page", which can also be accessed by selecting the appropriate item from the left menu.

Your avatar will be placed here (usually a photo of a person or a funny drawing of some kind), some general data will be provided (including the status that is displayed under your first and last name (by the way, I already wrote about that).

To edit the data displayed on your page, you can use the buttons shown in the screenshot. Entries to the “wall” are entered through the line, again shown in the screenshot. You can, for example, enter there just a link to some page on the Internet, and smart Contact itself will pull out the picture, title and description of this page. You can (Contact profile), or to a group or public, if the need arises. Under your photo (avatar) you can track the level of completion of your profile.

I also advise you to wander through the tabs of the item "Settings"(from the left menu) to meaningfully establish your level of openness on this social network. For example, you probably shouldn’t post it in general access your address and telephone number (at least only to your friends on VK), etc. Think, adjust and start communicating.

Good luck to you! Before see you soon on the pages of the blog site

If you are on the territory of Ukraine, then in your case we're talking about about global blocking. The same applies to users who try to open a social network on their work or educational computer. In these cases, only .

Step 1: check the website address

First you need to look at the site addresses. It is listed in the top line of the browser. It must say vk.com or

If something else is indicated in this line instead of vk.com, then you are on a fraudulent site.

The website “Welcome | VKontakte" and address bar written vk.com? So, everything is fine - go to your profile and use it. Just to be on the safe side, change your password and log into VK from now on.

And if something wrong is written in the address bar again, it means there is a virus on the computer. Proceed directly to step 3.

Step 2: try to log in from another device

So you've completed the first step. Everything is correct in your address bar, but VK still won’t open. Moreover, other Internet pages work properly.

  1. Open the Internet browsing program;
  2. Top line type m.vk.com and go to this address.

If the site does NOT open on another device. This means the problem is global. It happens that Contact is not available throughout the Internet. This happens when developers update the system or when problems occur on the site. technical problems. I advise you to just wait a couple of hours and try to log in again.

If the site opened on another device, but it still doesn’t work on yours, which means it’s a local problem. Proceed to the next step.

Step 3: remove the virus

There are viruses that block websites on your computer. This usually applies to popular resources: Odnoklassniki, VKontakte, Yandex, Mail.ru. Now I will show you how to clean your computer from such viruses.

1 . Cleaning the hosts file.

To do this, go to “Computer” (Start - Computer) and open that Local disk on which the system is located. Typically this is Local Drive C.

Then open Windows folder, in it System32, then drivers and in it the etc folder. There will be a hosts file.

It needs to be opened via Notepad. To do this, double-click on hosts with the left mouse button and select Notepad in the window.

Now we delete the line where it says vk.com. Usually it looks like in the picture (the numbers may be different).

And let's try to get in touch

Users of VKontakte have access to a set of capabilities characteristic of many social networks: create a profile with information about yourself, produce and distribute content, flexibly manage privacy, interact with other users directly, as well as through the mechanism of groups and meetings, track via news feed activity of friends and communities. Interface "VKontakte" and its international version VK.com available in more than 50 languages.

Payment system

According to the creators, the VKontakte payment system should become a serious competitor for projects such as Yandex Money and Webmoney, since the network does not charge users a commission for paying for purchases in online stores, and many stores provide social network users with discounts of 2% or more . Within payment system The “Wish Lists” service and the “Product Search” catalog have been implemented, actively using the capabilities of this social network.

"In state"- a social network designed to post vacancies and resumes. The site, launched in June 2008 by Pavel Durov and Andrey Urusov, is managed by Professional Contacts LLC. The project quickly gained popularity. Thus, by the beginning of August, more than 600 thousand people had posted their profiles. The explosive growth is due to the fact that the site is closely integrated with VKontakte, whose users can automatically post their profiles. According to the site, at the beginning of 2009, more than 2 million resumes were posted.

The project should contribute to the payback of VKontakte: the profit projected by management in 2009 is 5-10 million. It is expected that these indicators will be achieved through employers who post vacancies for a fee and receive full access to search options. Experts from HeadHunter, the largest recruiting site on the Runet and a competitor to “In the State,” note that with a market turnover of $30 million in 2007, it will be extremely difficult to achieve the stated figures.
