Recover Your Viber Account, Chats & Device Access

Recover Viber account access in the right order

Start with control of your number, then resolve activation and the account PIN. Review secondary devices after the primary phone works.

1. 1
   Regain your registered number

   If your SIM or number was taken over, contact your mobile carrier before attempting Viber activation.

   ⏱ Carrier-dependent · Your number is back under your control.
2. 2
   Activate Viber on your own phone

   Use your existing number and Viber's official activation instructions; enter credentials yourself.

   ⏱ Follow the activation screen · Activation proceeds, or the screen shows a troubleshooting or waiting instruction.
3. 3
   Resolve the account PIN if requested

   Use Forgot PIN with the registered recovery email; contact official support if that email is unfamiliar or inaccessible.

   ⏱ No fixed recovery time · PIN recovery uses the registered email; number verification remains required.
4. 4
   Review secondary devices separately

   Open More → Settings → Account → Desktop and tablets; select and deactivate unfamiliar linked devices.

   ⏱ After primary-phone access returns · You have reviewed every listed computer and tablet.
5. 5
   Secure the recovered account

   Enable or change 2-step verification, verify and secure its recovery email, and warn contacts if your account sent scams.

   ⏱ After device review · Your PIN and recovery email are under your control.

New-phone activation deactivates Viber on the previous phone. If activation fails, follow Viber's troubleshooting and any displayed wait; HackMachine cannot shorten it.
