In recent years, the TikTok application has become one of the most downloaded, offering attention-grabbing entertainment. Using the application is very simple, you just have to download the application, register and log in with your username and password.
However, many times it could happen that when creating the account we enter a password and days later we have forgotten it and we do not have it saved in any notepad.

What points should you know to restore your TikTok account when you forget it?
When you install the TikTok application on your mobile, the platform gives you some options that you can consider completing to ensure an account reset.

The first thing you should do is add a phone number or an email to your profile so that the account can be created. And, particularly, this is a detail that you should not overlook, since if you ever need to recover the account on TikTok, they will ask you for this information.
For that, you just have to choose the option that appears first when you open the TikTok application to create your account. Thus, you can enter a phone number to verify the account and enter a password you want and continue choosing a user for the account.
The other option is to use a social network, it can be with your Facebook account or also with some google account, where all your information is already stored. So, when you activate this option, TikTok synchronizes with these accounts to collect all that personal information.
Using this option you must click on ‘Continue with Facebook’ or ‘Continue with Google’ when starting to create your account. That way, all your information from those accounts will become part of TikTok to create the account with the same data you provided.
