- Enter the Badoo Portal through the linkhttps://badoo.com/and press “Connect” .
- Once inside the login window, click on “Forgot your password?”and move on to the next step.

Once you’ve finished, you’ll have new access to this social network and you’ll be able to continue with your idea of meeting new people for short or long-term relationships. It’s recommended that you change the password provided by the website , since they’re usually very difficult to remember.
Due to account deactivation
If for some reason you decided to deactivate your account on Badoo , either because you didn’t like the candidates, you think it’s not real, you didn’t get what you were looking for, etc. You should know that from the moment you make this decision, you have up to 30 days to reverse it and recover your profile on the website.

- Go to your email, look for the last message you received from Badoo in your inboxand click on it. It is usually identified as “Are you sure you want to leave us?”. This is a measure that the website uses to ensure that it was you who made the decision and there are no intentions of strangers behind the deactivation.
- Inside you will find a button-shaped link, click on “Recover profile”.This will take you back to the official site where you can reactivate your account.
- Once you are in the portal, you will have to enter a special character code, which is nothing more than a Captcha check. Press “Re-enter”.
With these steps you will have reactivated your user on Badoo . It is necessary to mention that, if you delete the email from your inbox, you will not have any access and, consequently, you will lose your account within this platform . Also remember that this special link has a maximum duration of one month (30 days) after which it will expire.

Badoo, like many other social media platforms, offers the option of recovering user information through its mobile app. To do this, you will need to download the app to your device (only if you don’t have one) and follow these instructions:
- Enter the app and press “Forgot your password”.
- Badoo will take you to a new window, where you will have to provide the same informationyou used when you registered (email or phone number) and press “Get a new password”.

- The next step will depend on the method you selected to recover your password. If you use your email, go to your inbox to open the message you received from Badoo and press “Create a password ”. This will take you to the social network portal, enter your new password and press “Update” .
Note : If you have the latest version of Gmail installed, you may need to click on the “Social” tab at the top of the message list to view emails from different social networks. This is due to the distribution by categories.
If, on the other hand, you chose to do it via SMS , you must wait for the text message to arrive. It will include a temporary password that you must change after logging back into your profile, through the settings menu included in the app.
You will also find a link within the text, click on it to continue with the process. When you do so, your phone’s system will ask you how you want to continue, select “Badoo” and the app will finally open directly to your profile.
If you followed the instructions to the letter, you will have successfully regained access to the portal. Remember that when you change your password via SMS, you are given an automatic password , which in many cases is difficult to remember.
