How To Secure A Snapchat
1. Email Setup
If email info isn't provided, ask the owner to add your email. Avoid using disposable email services.
2. Logging In
If you had to change the email and log in, refrain from making any changes initially. Allow the account to get accustomed to the device and IP address. Avoid signing out, sending snaps, or downloading data. Wait for about 24 hours before proceeding.
3. Remove Linked Phone Number
Request the owner to remove any linked phone number, as only they have the capability to do so. They can unlink it by associating it with a different Snapchat account. Also, ask them to disable or remove any two-factor authentication (2FA) settings. Patience is key, so wait for another 24 hours.
4. Change Password
Once the waiting period has passed, change the account password to a strong one, using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, special characters, and numbers. Store the new password securely.
5. Download Snapchat Data
Download the Snapchat data, which includes information about previous owners, email addresses, phone numbers, and password changes. Here
Additional Tips
- In case of "Try again later / something went wrong" message, wait for 24-48 hours before resuming the securing process.
- Exercise patience, follow the suggested waiting periods, and prioritize account security throughout the process.
