How to Recover Your KakaoTalk Account

Recovering a KakaoTalk account can be challenging, particularly if you've been inactive for a while or have lost access due to device issues. Here's a summary of the key considerations and steps you might take based on user experiences.

Account Recovery Challenges

Many users face difficulties when trying to recover their KakaoTalk accounts, especially if they no longer have access to the phone number or email associated with the account [1][2]. If your account has been inactive for an extended period, it may be deactivated, making recovery more complicated [3].

Verification Requirements

To reset your password or reactivate your account, KakaoTalk often requires verification through a Korean phone number [3:1]. This can be problematic for international users who do not have a Korean number. Some users suggest attempting recovery through the computer app, which may offer different options [3:3].

Data Backup Limitations

It's important to note that KakaoTalk chats are saved locally unless manually backed up in the settings [3:2]. If you did not back up your chats before losing access, they may be irretrievable. Backups last for two weeks, so regular maintenance is necessary to prevent data loss [3:2].

Alternative Solutions

If recovery seems impossible, some users recommend creating a new account [2:1]. While this means starting from scratch, it may be the most straightforward solution if you're unable to verify your old account. Additionally, contacting KakaoTalk support through forms like the one provided by Bungo Tales could potentially help in recovering your account [5:2].

Sticker Recovery

For those concerned about recovering purchased stickers, transferring them between accounts is generally not possible if you've created a completely new account [4:1]. Stickers can only be recovered if they were lost due to an error on the same account.

Recommendations

Given these challenges, it's advisable to regularly back up your KakaoTalk data and ensure your contact information is current. If you're planning to use KakaoTalk again after a long hiatus, consider verifying your account details and backup settings beforehand.

hey everyone! im from the U.S. and i made a kt account when i visited seoul in 2019 and i’m getting to visit again this summer, so i wanted to redownload the app to contact some friends i had in there. my account was made inactive so i sent a request to reopen it and did all of that but now when i get to the final page of the log-in screen on the app i see the picture i added. details just takes me to the faq and i should have no problem receiving international texts with my phone carrier according to their website. i can access my account fine on the website, but it won’t work when i try to log-in to the app because i get stuck here. i was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or might know why they can’t send a message to my number/how i can fix this. i don’t have any other contact info for some of the people i had friended in that account so i’d really like to get it back. thanks!

Just to confirm, the number you have now is the same number you used in 2019?

I can also add that most of my Korean friends barely use kkt now and we instead message on Instagram. Newer Korean friends just ask for Instagram even if they know I have kkt.

Lost my previous account (about 2 yrs ago)... Anything to do?

Posted by TacitLiar · in r/KakaoTalk · 4 years ago

Hey, I have tried contacting Support, but it says my email is invalid, which it isn't, so confused and asking here.

My account seems to be disabled, but I cannot reactivate it, as I don't remember my account name and ID since I lost my tablet with the account on it about two years ago. (I've vague ideas, but they didn't seem to work, though if is deactivated, maybe that's why...)

I'm also unsure about my password, but cannot try some that might be correct to login since it is deactivated right now (at least, it seems,from what I read).

The only way I can confirm my identity is via my email account, as I do not own a cellphone... (the phone I registered is a line family phone...)

I could make another account,but I have ghosted a friend on there for about two years, so I would really like to know if it's possible to get it back at all at this point...

Thanks...

KakaoTalk won't let me reset my password or pretends my account doesn't exist.

Posted by emergentgold · in r/korea · 2 years ago

The KakaoTalk subreddit is no longer taking posts so asking here. KakaoTalk's app is breaking my head. I entered my email wherever possible (the same email which receives emails from Kakao about the account) and every possible name I used for myself, but it will not let me reset my password by suggesting there are no account results found for what I entered.

I have been inactive on Kakao for about 12 months. How do I get my chats back?

Also, once I do log back in on the original phone - if I log in on a new phone, will the chats be there or are they stored on the device itself?

By the way, when I opened the app, for a second, it showed me all my prior chats, and my profile picture and status, but then said my session had expired so I should sign in again (I can't crack my password).

Your chats are gone. You have to manually back them up and that back up lasts for 2 weeks.

If it is a completely new account, I don't think you will be able to recover those stickers as that was on a completely different account. If you had lost your stickers from some sort of error, you could recover them on the same account. Unfortunately, your situation is very difficult and most likely impossible to resolve.

Hi! You will have to contact customer support in game through below link to retrieve your account:

>Customer Support > Account Recovery > Form_Account Retrieval

You'll be asked to submit details such as:

  • date of issue
  • account creation date
  • registration device
  • alternate email address
  • third party connections
  • previous bound email
  • highest rank in 6 months
  • most played lane/hero in 6 months
  • past transaction details
  • problem screenshot (submit screenshot of purchase receipts)

  • To fine account creation date
  • Look into your old screenshots, emails from moonton. If you binded your account to Facebook soon after creating account then login to Facebook and check when you connected your Facebook through "Apps and Websites" option.

  • If you're on Android then you can also check your first mlbb achievement on Play Games app. If you're on iOS, check first achievement date on your account center.

  • You can also guesstimate your account creation date by remembering which hero/skin/event was newly released at the time you joined the game and then look up it's release date on Google.

  • For registration device, try remembering which device you owned around the time you created your account. You can also try asking your family or friends or look into your old pictures

You were warned for over 8 months that account data would be permanently deleted due to GDPR compliance during the transfer if you didn't provide consent back in 2021. They sent many emails, and put adverts out all over the web.

No. Your account is permanently gone and you must start over.

Kakaotalk login is stuck after asking to send a long message to verify my identity

Posted by potatoe-99 · in r/KakaoTalk · 2 years ago

I switched to a new phone and now that I try to login to my kakaotalk account, it says that I’ll receive a verification code on my phone number and when I click OK instead of going to “Enter verification code” screen, it asks to send a verification message to verify my identity. I've sent that message several times and I have already checked with my carrier and I can send international messages successfully. When I check verification it always says “The verification is still in progress” and after some it says “A temporary error has occurred. Please start over”. I’ve tried to reinstall kakaotalk, try logging in after several days but it’s still the same.

I tried it yesterday, and it's difficult. Actually, if the message does not deliver, then it means international messaging is blocked, so for that, you need to purchase an isd pack to actually send the verification code which is like the only option. Some people said to wait but waiting option will not work also ig

Tengo mas de mes y medio intentando desde mi numero teléfonico que me llegue el codigo cuando lo intento, dice que recibiré un código de verificación en mi número de teléfono y cuando hago clic en Aceptar en lugar de ir a la pantalla "Ingresar código de verificación", me pregunta enviar un mensaje de verificación para verificar mi identidad. Envió ese mensaje varias veces, ya lo verifique con mi proveedor y puedo enviar mensajes internacionales correctamente. Cuando verifico la verificación, siempre dice "La verificación aún está en progreso" y después de un rato dice "Se ha producido un error temporal". Por favor, empieza de nuevo”. He intententado muchas veces acceder a kakaotalk, sin poder lograrlo he intentado registrarme después de varios días, pero sigue igual.

User protection policy?

Am I banned until they can check up on me? Thats kinda awkwardly scary? Lol.

I joined with my phone number and then added my email

I have had some issues with the previous owner of this phone number he still has it on his business cards, Facebook, and his business sign

Would the ban relate to him?

The maître d’ stops by to say hello to McDermott, then notices we don’t have our complimentary Bellinis, and runs off before any of us can stop him. I’m not sure how McDermott knows Alain so well—maybe Cecelia?—and it slightly pisses me off but I decide to even up the score a little bit by showing everyone my new business card. I pull it out of my gazelleskin wallet (Barney’s, $850) and slap it on the table, waiting for reactions.
