Hello, dear readers of the blog site! Today we move on to getting acquainted with another major social network of the Runet - Odnoklassniki.ru. I think that even if you are not registered on this service yet, you have certainly heard about it.

The Odnoklassniki website not only allows you to find and maintain relationships with your former classmates, fellow students and friends, but also to apply some of the methods provided here to promote your project or brand. Agree, it would be a sin not to take advantage of this opportunity, if you mean simply the huge traffic of this web resource.

The blog pages have already accumulated a lot of materials devoted to the most popular social networks Google+, Twitter, VKontakte, Facebook (and you will find articles that scrupulously describe the registration process and setting up a profile in these services). Now it's OK's turn.

How to create a page on Odnoklassniki, log in and activate your profile

The registration process with OK is quite standard and does not take much time. Possibility of free registration provided by the Odnoklassniki main page, which is located at this address. To create your page, you need to go to the “Registration” tab, after which you will be taken to a new web page with a form that you need to fill out:

As you can see, the form is standard, entering the necessary data does not present any difficulties. The only thing I would advise you is to come up with a more complex password, and in order not to experience difficulties with storing it, use reliable software in the form of the KeePass program (there is a detailed article about this manager and password generator).

After filling out all the fields, click the “Register” button. This completes the process and you will be logged into your account. However, to get the full functionality of Odnoklassniki.ru at your disposal, you need to activate your profile. To do this, indicate your mobile phone number by clicking on the corresponding green button, which will appear as part of the message that appears:

As a result, a new pop-up window will appear in which you will need to enter your phone number. The country from whose territory you are registering and the corresponding code will be automatically indicated. If for some reason this information is incorrect, then click the “Change country” link, and then select the correct option from the drop-down list. Enter the number and click “Send”:

Then, within 3 minutes (usually much earlier), an SMS with a six-digit code will be sent to your mobile phone, the numbers of which must be entered into the line and click “Activate”:

It is quite possible that there is some kind of system failure and you will not receive a message from OK. In this case, try requesting the activation code again. Next, a message will appear indicating the successful completion of account activation:

Also, at the same time, a letter will be sent to the email address specified during registration containing a link to confirm your email, which you should follow. As a result of these actions, you will be informed that your mailbox has been entered into the system database:

After this, free registration with Odnoklassniki is finally completed and you can enjoy the newly created profile. To access Odnoklassniki.ru in the future, go to home page, where you fill out the authorization form, entering the email specified during registration (as an alternative, you are asked to enter a confirmed phone number or login), as well as a password:

Setting up a profile in Odnoklassniki.ru

We looked at how to register with Odnoklassniki, let's move on. After logging into your account, you can immediately set up your account by clicking on the link from the left menu (“Change settings”) or select the desired line from the drop-down list in the “More” column of the top menu. In the future, the set parameters can be changed at any time by clicking on the corresponding link in the settings register (phone number, login, password, etc.):

Http://www.odnoklassniki.ru/profile/561244249724

However, the ID number as part of the URL does not look very presentable, especially if you want to promote your resource, brand or product using the OK social network. You can create a much more attractive URL for your profile, using, for example, your first and last name under which you registered on this service (or some other phrase you need). So, let's click on “Profile link” options to change it (by default, as I noted above, the ID is included in the URL):

Click the “Create” button and get a new hyperlink, for example you can look at My profile Odnoklassniki, where in the address bar of the browser there is an edited, changeable part of the link (instead of numbers - first name + last name). In the same way, you can make fun of all the possible settings in your profile at any time.

If you wish to change phone number(which is hidden by the system for security reasons) or login for authorization, then you need to enter the mobile phone number in the resulting column in the pop-up window, to which a message with a confirmation code will be sent. This operation is similar to the one I noted just above when describing registration.

Change Password occurs according to the standard scheme: enter the old password once, and then the new one, confirming it a second time. IN notification settings You can check the boxes for those events that you would like to quickly learn about by receiving relevant messages by e-mail or via SMS. Please note that the method of receiving text messages is available only to users registered in Russia.

Next come Hidden from feeds and discussions friends or groups, the creation of which we will talk about in subsequent publications. Their status can also be changed at any time. IN Publicity settings Carefully study all the information and decide which data you would like to open to public access, which of them you want to share only with friends and which of them you want to keep only for personal use:

The same list contains options for radical steps. For example, there is ability to close profile, after which all information will be available only to your friends on Odnoklassniki. In addition, you can view your profile browsing history:

This is very important from the point of view of ensuring account security. If you suddenly notice strange activity and some of the connections to your profile seem suspicious to you, then it’s time to take some steps in this direction. By the way, as one of the measures to strengthen or restore protection, it is immediately proposed to change the password, which will definitely not be superfluous.

After confirming your number by entering the code, you need to create a password. It must be no shorter than 6 characters and consist of Latin letters and at least one number. The more complex the password, the more difficult it will be to crack (and this happens).

It’s best to immediately write it down in your diary or create a folder with passwords on your desktop, on your computer, so the passwords for all sites will be in one place, this will be useful in the future, when it will be difficult to remember the next password - you won’t need to recover it, just look in this folder. The phone number will be the login to enter the site. If desired, the login can be changed in the settings.

After entering your password, a new page opens, fill out the form by entering your personal data:

It is very convenient to access the site using a mobile phone. This way you can always stay in touch, listen to your favorite music, watch movies and scroll through friends’ news from anywhere. Creating a new page in Odnoklassniki using a mobile phone is also not difficult.

Registering with Odnoklassniki using a mobile phone is similar to registering from a computer. For those who decided to register with Odnoklassniki using a smartphone for the first time, you need to open the mobile version of the site. You can do this by typing the combination m.ok.ru into a search engine, or you can use Russian letters, then go to the desired page and click the “Registration” button.

The program will ask you to specify the country and enter the phone number, which must be entered without the “eight”. Next, you need to enter your personal data - last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth, gender. After entering all the data, a new page is created. You can download a mobile application that is optimized specifically for a mobile device, this will make using the social network even more convenient.

Registration using the mobile application

In order to register on the site using the mobile application, you must install it. To do this, in the Play Market or AppStore, depending on the operating system of the smartphone, you need to enter the word “Odnoklassniki” in the search bar and download the official application, to do this you need to click the “Install” button opposite the application itself. After which a window will appear with permissions that must be accepted. After downloading the application, you need to open it.

After logging into the application, two buttons “Login” and “Quick registration” will appear; you must click the last button.

Then the same actions occur as in the mobile version of the site. On the registration page you must enter a phone number that is available right now. After which, you will receive a confirmation code, which you must enter in the “Enter code” line.

Registration without phone number

It is now impossible to register with Odnoklassniki without a phone number; a new user must have a phone number to which an activation code is sent upon registration. This is due to the fact that recently cases of hacking of pages have become more frequent; therefore, in order to protect users and avoid the creation of fake pages and fraudulent activities, the site administration decided to request a new mobile number for linking the page each time they register. This will make it more difficult for scammers to hack someone else’s page and commit fraudulent actions.

If you created two pages for one phone number, then now both pages have the same login - your number. You didn't read the warning the site gave you. You may have already lost access to the old page or are at risk of losing it.

Attention! Now only one page is linked to the phone - new. That is, password recovery via SMS only works for her. The old one has become untied from the number, and if you forget the password, it will be impossible to recover it via SMS. Playing with number binding is dangerous. Read further very carefully.

How to go to the old page?

If the passwords on the pages are different

And if you make the same passwords on both pages, you will find yourself in a more difficult situation. More on this below:

If the passwords on the pages are the same

In this case, VKontakte will not understand in any way whether you want to go to the old or new page - both logins (numbers) and passwords are the same. Therefore, he will let you in to the new one, which is now tied to the phone. We remember that one is tied, the other is not tied. What to do if you need to get to the old page?

First way

1. Change the password on the new (accessible) page on another one. Remember it. You will need it to return to this page later.
2. Get out of it.
3. You will be able to access the old page with the same phone number, but with the old password.
4. If you need the old page, link it to your phone immediately.

Second way

If the email was specified on the old page, you can use it as a login (instead of a number). Then VK will understand that you need to go to the old page. But remember that it is now unlinked from the number, and it is impossible to recover the password via Email. Therefore, you will still have to tie it to your mobile phone to keep it safe.

What should I do if no methods help, I can’t log into the old page?

If you realize that you created the second page by mistake, and you don’t need it, but only need the old one, try writing agents contact support and ask to return the number to the old page. Please include your phone number and links to each page.

How to link a page to a number?

This is done in Settings. Open by this link or look at the instructions with pictures. The number must be your personal. It will receive a verification code that you will need to enter to confirm the binding. In the future, if you forget your password or the page is hacked, you can use your phone to restore access.

Which number should I link to?

If both pages are needed, then go to different numbers. The new one is already linked to your number, which means you need to link the old one to another one. If you only need the old one, link it back to your number, but you may encounter the error “The number was recently used” - . You can delete a new page that you don't need (don't do this while it has a phone number attached to it that you want to use on another page).

Is it worth changing the number on the available page (linking another)?

No, that won't help. Linking a number will not return to the old page on its own. You can only link a number manually, in the settings. That is, only when there is access - and you have lost it. If you don’t need the second page and you agree to return the link to the first, try writing to the support agent that you created a new page by accident and want to return the number to the old one - How to write to a VKontakte support agent (indicate in the application links to both pages, phone number and to which page if you want to link it).

If I delete the new page, will it help me regain access to the old one?

No, it won't help. Linking a number will not jump back to the old page. After deleting a page, you will be given a long period of time to restore it, and when it expires, the linked number will simply become free.

Warning

Registration in Odnoklassniki from a mobile phone

I advise you to register through the official app from OK.
Then, even a novice computer user will have no questions.

So. open Play Market on your smartphone. Enter "oddnoklassniki" into the search bar.

Select the country you are currently in.
Enter the phone number to which the SMS will be sent.

How to register another page in Odnoklassniki from one computer

You can register another page in Odnoklassniki (for your wife, husband, mother-in-law, etc.) from one computer without any problems. All you need to do is log out of your account by clicking the Log out link in the top right corner of the page. And you will find yourself on the Odnoklassniki login page. After which you begin a new registration as described above.

The second registration option - without even closing your first page - is to register in another web browser. For example, your Odnoklassniki page is open in the Firefox browser - then you launch the Internet Explorer browser and begin registering a new user, as shown in this lesson.

You just need to keep in mind that registering another page for one mobile phone number will not work.

This is a rather interesting question that is beginning to worry users more and more. Especially those who prefer to work through social networks. So let's start studying it.

Why and when is this needed?

But before that, let’s try to figure out one more very interesting thing with you. More precisely, we will try to understand when a new VKontakte page is really needed.

Such “spare” questionnaires are necessary for store clerks. We are talking about online stores that make their main profit by attracting users from social networks. So, a person can not “clutter up” his profile, but simply use a working profile. After all, the new VKontakte page, as a rule, serves precisely this purpose.

"VKontakte" page.

If the page is out of date

The first scenario is when the user already has a profile, only it is very, very old. About 5 years ago. At that time, it was customary to link all profiles to the user’s email.

Owners of old pages are very lucky. After all, they won’t have to find a way to create a second VKontakte page. It is enough just to register it according to the new scheme. That is, link directly to your mobile phone. That's all the problems. Enter your login, password, your first/last name, and then your mobile number. VKontakte pages created in this way are usually very easy to restore after being hacked.

True, there are other options for the development of events. For example, what should users do whose pages are already linked to their mobile phone? Let's try to understand this difficult issue.

Option "zapara"

Let's try to use one interesting technique that, unfortunately, does not always work. For it you need to have a page linked to your phone. It is with such a questionnaire that we will work.

First of all, go to “VKontakte” (“Login” - “My Page”). By the way, if you link a second profile, your login will remain the same, but the password will be the one you set. After you log in, all you need to do is go to “My Settings” and see how your mobile phone number is indicated. Change its first digit, and then register your profile using the same mobile number.

As already mentioned, this option does not always work. So to speak, it is based purely on the luck of the users. Thus, if you want to know how to create a second VKontakte page, then another scenario will suit you.

Programs

So, now we will try to register a new profile using specialized applications. Now this method is considered quite popular among most users.

For it, you will have to find a special program for VKontakte, which expands the standard functions of the social network. This includes reading other people’s messages, exiting all public pages “in one fell swoop,” and creating a second profile.

You just need to log in to the application and then select the function to create a new profile. Next, you will see the familiar registration page, where you will need to come up with a password, first/last name and fill out some personal information. The final stage is to enter your mobile phone number in the appropriate field to link your profile. That's it. When you do everything, you will have two pages linked to one number.

However, it is worth remembering that this option is very risky. After all, most of these types of programs are nothing more than the most common and real viruses. They simply steal data from your current work profiles. Aren't you afraid? Then feel free to download this application. If common sense takes precedence over desires, then it is worth trying the only logical way out of the current situation.

New SIM card

Users who do not want to be deceived while wondering how to create a second VKontakte page can use one very interesting and logical approach. Since we are linking the account to the phone, we will have to buy a new SIM card and then register a profile for it.

Agree, this is a very simple and quick scenario for work. Go to any cellular store, buy any SIM card, and then just use it once. After registration, of course, it is better to make a call from your mobile phone once a month so that the number is not blocked and transferred to someone else. That's all. Now you are familiar with all the available ways to register a new profile on the VKontakte social network.
