Snapchat not sending security code: Fix

Does the Snapchat app not sending you the verification code while logging to your Snapchat app? If you have forgotten the password, Snapchat sends a verification code to the registered email ID or phone number to verify your access. But, if you are not getting the code from Snapchat, you won’t be able to reset the account password, ultimately denying your access.

 

Fix 1 – Get the code via Email

The most basic alternative that you can choose beside getting the code texted to your Snapchat number is to get it to the email ID.

Step 1 – Tap the “Forgot Password?” option in the Snapchat log in page.
