If you cannot remember the data that the system requests, you can leave an online request on the Qiwi Wallet website describing the problem.
Login problems
If the browser does not enter the QIWI wallet, but instead the loading icon constantly hangs, this may be due to technical work. The system is constantly updated, so the site is sometimes under reconstruction. In this case, you just need to try again later.
The account is linked to a mobile number, so if you don’t have access to the phone number, you won’t be able to log into the system. The exception is when you remember your personal account password.
If you cannot log in, check that your Internet connection is working and that you entered the password correctly.
Problems with logging in occur when your account is blocked. This can happen when limits are exceeded, suspicious activity occurs, or the rules for using the system are violated. If you have not made illegal transactions, call technical support and explain the situation. The operator will remove the lock in a few minutes. In some cases, verification before unlocking takes several days.
