Search Delete TikTok Account Forgot Password - Header

Techhow – In order to delete a TikTok account, we do need to go through the ownership verification process. But can we still do it if we forget our password?

If it is the only verification method that can be used then the answer is of course ‘No’. This process is because it is very important to do so that the account cannot be tampered with irresponsibly by just anyone.

Without a verification process, account security will be more threatened. Just imagine how it would feel if someone accidentally deleted it after they managed to open our cellphone and enter the TikTok application.

Even so, we don’t need to worry. We can still delete our forgotten TikTok account by trying to recover or change it first. So the verification process can still be done.

Recovering passwords and deleting TikTok accounts can also be done directly through the application. Here are the steps to do it for those of you who can’t.
