Even active users of the social network often do not understand the intricacies of the settings provided by the site for their convenience and comfort. After all, problems with accessing the VK page may arise at any moment; no one is immune from this. In this article we will show and tell you how to find out the password from VK.
Social networks have become an integral part of the lives of modern people for many years. Every day we return to our page to view the news feed, correspond with friends, upload photos or visit a thematic group.
VKontatka provides a number of opportunities for users, however, for the full functionality of the social network, registration is required, during which you need to enter a login and come up with a password.
Most often, the browser on your device remembers the registration parameters and you do not need to enter data every time you visit the site. But sometimes you need to log into a social network from a new device or browser. So what should you do if your memory suddenly fails, and it’s impossible to remember the old password?
How to find the VK password on your page
It may seem logical that the VK password should be reflected on the profile page, for example, in the settings, but this is not entirely true. It is possible to change the data, but only if you know your current password. Let's check.
In the upper right corner, click on the button with the name and find settings in the pop-up menu.
We are interested in the fourth item “Password”, where the date of the last data update is indicated. By clicking on the “Change” button, we can make sure that to change the current password we must enter the old one in the first of three columns.
This was not done by accident, but for security purposes so that third parties cannot change your data.
Password management via profile settings
The password control block is located in the page settings section. You can find it as follows:
- Login to your page on VKontakte
- Click on your avatar thumbnail in the upper right corner.
- In the active menu, select “Settings”.
- In the “General” tab, find the “Password” line.
This indicates how long ago the current password was set. By clicking on the “Change” button, you can change it to a new combination. However, you will need to enter your old password.
You won’t be able to see your key to the page here, so you’ll have to resort to some browser tricks.
How to find an encrypted password
Right-click on the dotted column, then select “View Code” or “Inspect Element” (depending on your browser). In the window that appears, double-click the word “password” with the left mouse button, then replace it with the number 1.
If when entering a social network page you do not have to enter your username and password every time, then the data is saved in the browser. On the vk.com website, the login and password fields are filled in automatically, but instead of the password you see dots. Let's find out what's hidden underneath them.
Instead of dots, the field should display the key to the VKontakte page in the form of letters and numbers.
A trick that allows you to spy on the password under the asterisks
This recommendation is often found on the Internet. Essentially, this is another option to see the saved password for the VKontakte page in the browser. But so that you have an idea of all the methods, I will show it.
The point is this. We go to the data entry form on the VK main page. The field that is used to enter the password is of the “Password” type. This information is from the layout area. This type hides input data by replacing it with asterisks or black dots. So that the password cannot be seen.
We will manually change the field type so that the specified data becomes visible. Again, provided that the password has been saved and automatically entered into the form.
So, let's go to the VK start page. Password saving wizard automatically fills the form with data. But the password is hidden by asterisks. We'll fix it now. Place the cursor over this field and press the right mouse button. In the window that appears, click “View code”.
View element code
We will have an additional panel appear, and all the code related to the selected field will be highlighted. Here we must find an attribute with a value:
type="password"
And manually change the attribute value to “text”. Simply click the cursor in the corresponding block and enter the desired value from the keyboard. Then press Enter. After this, the data in the field will become visible.
Data became available for viewing
I don’t see much point in these manipulations - it’s much easier to view the saved data in a password manager. But if you like it, you can use it.
How to find out the password for VKontakte through a browser
If the browser was not prohibited from saving information about site accounts, the data can be easily found provided that you accessed your page not through the mobile application, but directly through the browser itself. You can allow or block the browser from saving data about your VK login and password in the settings.
Let's figure out how to find the key to a social network profile in your browser settings.
In the Google Chrome browser
Click on the button with three dots located at the top right directly below the close window button. Next, click “Settings”.
In the “Autofill” item, click on the “Passwords” button, after which a list of sites with saved account data opens. Find vk.com and click on the icon with the image of an eye.
This browser does not have its own password, but you may need to enter a combination to gain access to your Windows account.
In Mozilla Firefox browser
You can get to the main menu by clicking on the three-bar icon in the upper right corner of the browser. You need to find the “Tinctures” item.
In the list that opens, find the “Privacy and Protection” item, then look for the “Logins and Passwords” section, and click on the “Saved Logins” button.
Mozilla stores account data, including social networks, provided you have previously given permission to do so. Click on the "Display Password" button.
After this, the browser may ask you for a master key, that is, the browser's secret code. The goal will be achieved provided that you remember this code.
In the Opera browser
Click on the browser logo in the upper left corner of the screen, and then select “Settings” from the pop-up menu.
At the bottom of the page, select the “Advanced” item, then the “Passwords and Forms” subsection. Next, open the pop-up window opposite the bottommost item.
We find the social networking site VKontakte, click on the image of the eye opposite. You will need to enter the login code for your Windows account, provided that you are not the only user of this PC and your account has a password. After this, access to your social network login information will open.
In Yandex Browser
If you have never changed your settings, this browser by default saves all the information you enter on various web pages. Using the Yandex Internet browser, you can find out the necessary information about social network codes without any problems.
First of all, click on the corner button with three lines, then go to the “Settings” item. In the top line in the “Passwords” tab, click on the address of the VK social network.
A window will open in which you need to click on the image of the eye, after which the key to your social network account will become visible.
To summarize, we can say that information about a social network account is quite easy to find out through any Internet browser, provided that the browser settings allow you to save such information.

Finding a forgotten password using a traffic analyzer
Using Wireshark (PC)
We will need any program that analyzes network packets (sniffer). You can use one of the most popular in this segment - Wireshark. It is a cross-platform tool that works on almost all operating systems, including Windows.
The program has a logical and understandable interface and works with most protocols.
We won’t talk about the program itself and its advantages now (those who are interested can easily find the necessary information on the Internet). We are now interested in the possibility of solving the problem of finding a password in VK. To do this, download Wireshark from the official website:
Installation on OS Windows is extremely simple (next->next->next).
Connect your Android to your PC via USB. Now we need to configure the program for the network that is to be analyzed and enable it to search for packets:
Then we send the form with the password from the smartphone. After receiving the packages, turn off Wireshark and look for the keyword “password” among the received data, where the login and password will be displayed.
It is important to say the following here. Working with sniffers is a topic for a separate discussion, and quite a voluminous one at that. Therefore, an untrained user should not take this method as a guide to action. We briefly talked about Wireshark, only to indicate to our audience the existence of such a possibility for solving the issue under study.
If you consider yourself an advanced user, and even more so, have experience working with such software, you can easily solve the problem of a forgotten password.
Video instructions on using Wireshark:
Using Intercepter-NG (Android)
Another representative of the line of sniffers that will need to be installed on Android is Intercepter-NG.
The program is a multifunctional network sniffer ported to Android OS. Intercepter-NG copes quite successfully with the task of intercepting and analyzing network traffic, allowing you to recover files that are transmitted over the network, messages from various instant messengers and, what is important for us in the context of the problem under consideration, recover passwords.
The mobile version turned out to be quite lightweight, which greatly simplifies management. Conditions required for work:
- Android version 2.3.3 and higher
- Availability of ROOT access
- Installing the BusyBox application
