How Do I Recover Access to My Straight Talk Account?

Straight Talk is a service offered by Tracfone Wireless Inc. It is possible to recover your account and continue using it if you forgot your security code.

Even though it is easy to come up with a security code, you may forget it. Plenty of people forget their security code at some point. If the code you entered is not correct, follow these steps to recover it;

1. Enter the last four digits of your Social Security number

2. Enter the last four digits of your phone number

Entering the last four digits should work. If it does not, try entering four straight digits such as 0000 or 1111. If none of that works, you may need to contact the support team and ask for help. Explain that you forgot the security code and ask them to help you recover it.

If you are unable to contact them on the phone, you may contact them by email. Your email should include all details that may make it easy to identify your account.

When you get your new code, memorize it or write it down where no one can see it. Use a code that is unique but easy to remember. You can continue using your Straight Talk phone when you enter your new security code.

If you forgot your password, click on the link 'Forgot password? and enter your email. If you do not receive a password reset email, check your spam folder. You may also contact the support team and ask for help. In some instances, you may have to change the email associated with your account.
