Log in to WeChat with SMS on Android

This article teaches you how to sign into WeChat on an Android phone or tablet. If you’ve forgotten your password, you can still sign in with a special SMS passcode.

Steps

Logging in Without a Password

1. Open WeChat. It’s a green icon with two white speech bubbles.
   • Use this method if you don’t remember your WeChat password.
2. Tap Log In. It’s the green button at the bottom of the screen.
   • If you see a login screen that displays your profile image and/or phone number instead of a Log In button, tap More, then select Switch Account.
3. Tap Log in via SMS. It’s at the bottom of the screen, beneath the green button.
4. Enter your mobile phone number. If the region doesn’t appear automatically, tap the country that does appear, then select the correct one from the list.
5. Tap Next. It’s at the top-right corner of the screen. WeChat will now send a verification code to you via a text message.
6. Enter the verification code. You’ll type it into the box that says “Code.”
7. Tap Next.
8. Enter a new password. Type it into the “Password” box as well as the “Confirm Password” box. You must enter the same password into both boxes.
9. Tap Done. Your password has been reset and you are now logged in to WeChat.
