I recently bought a new TikTok account registered in the US, but now I need to change the password. I’m concerned about keeping the account safe without risking a shadowban or having it relocated due to my location.
I’ve heard that using a VPN might not be very effective because TikTok can still track data from my phone. If I get a completely new phone and use a VPN on it, would that help in changing the password without triggering any issues?
Has anyone dealt with this before or have any suggestions on how to safely change the password for a US TikTok account from another country?
You can reset your TikTok password by selecting the Forgot password option on the login screen and TikTok will walk you through the process using your email address or phone number.
When I faced a similar situation with my TikTok account, I was concerned about password changes triggering issues or a shadowban, especially while traveling. I decided to use a VPN to mask my location, but it didn’t fully address the risk of data tracking from my phone. Instead, I created a new account on a different device with a fresh VPN setup and updated my login credentials from there. This approach helped minimize the chances of any issues linked to location changes or account security concerns. If you’re dealing with a US TikTok account from abroad, using a new device with a VPN can be a safer way to manage changes without raising red flags.
