I have Wechat installed on an iOS device (iPad) and on my Windows 10 PC. The usual way to log in on Windows (the app/program, not the web application) is to scan the QR code that shows up on my screen with the Wechat app on my iPad.
This issue is also tormenting a large number of Chinese WeChat users, and there is a lot of criticism about it on the Chinese internet, which has even been ongoing for many years. BUT, unfortunately, there is no way to log in to WeChat without scanning the QR code with your phone, unless:
WeChat is the main Chinese messenger and social network useful both for communication and business development. Nowadays WeChat is expanding its services and becoming more and more popular abroad. However, many users often encounter frustrating issues trying to sign up for WeChat or unlock their WeChat accounts.
In reality, these obstacles like a banned WeChat account are quite common and often directly caused by Tencent (a holding company that owns the WeChat ecosystem) security verification process and Chinese censorship, and are rarely caused by any real violations of social media rules etc. In this ultimate guide we would like to explain how you can verify your WeChat account, we describe how it is possible to deal with some popular issues related to account registration, logging in and blocked account in WeChat.
Verification with the help of other users who have WeChat accounts is the best way to register WeChat account and verify it. If you have a Chinese friend or any other friend who lives in Mainland China or abroad and has a verified account, then you should connect with him or she and ask for help. Before you start registration, please download WeChat, for example, from Google Play, and install it on your device. After installing WeChat you should open the app and go through the following steps:
At this stage of WeChat verification you need to confirm that you are not a bot and a real user, therefore you need to go through the captcha. In this case you do not need to enter captcha characters: the test is rather easy, it is just necessary to drag a puzzle piece on the right side of the presented picture.
If you successfully passed the previous step, now you need to receive a special code via SMS on your mobile phone. The app will send verification code, you enter this code and finish verification of your WeChat account.
Now you can use your WeChat account. After verification the app can make some suggestions, for example, ask you to read and accept some additional rules and check your address book to find your friends in WeChat. Now you have a WeChat account ID and you can find and add friends, take part in WeChat groups, after you activated WeChat Pay it is possible to use the mobile payment app developed by Tencent for the app to develop e-commerce segment of its business.
Despite all actions you did were correct it is possible to face some strange difficulties. For example, after your friend scanned a QR code, it could still be unable to get access for the next stage. It often relates to the status of the WeChat user you ask for help, he or she particularly must correspond some conditions: to be signed up over one month ago (an international user) or six months ago (a China Mainland user), not to have been blocked in the past month, etc. In this case you can ask another WeChat user to help you with verification. There could be a problem with the receiving SMS verification code for finishing registration of your WeChat account. Of course, you can try to use another phone number (remember that one phone number corresponds to one WeChat account) but this way may be rather uncomfortable, especially if you are going to use a mobile phone number of another user who has not already registered a WeChat account.
In this site you can find the most popular questions about working with WeChat and corresponding answers prepared by WeChat Help Center representatives. If no approach can help you, then it is possible to connect technical support. You need to open a special Feedback form where you can describe your issue and leave all the details necessary to help you. Then you should wait for technical support specialists to help you to handle your problem.
Strict account security rules and preventing spam activity make any user obtain a phone number to register and verify a WeChat account, therefore it is impossible to work with WeChat without your phone number. If you want to choose the option to sign up via Facebook, then you should put emphasis on the fact you still need to use the phone number during the verification process. It is necessary to note that you can use WeChat not only on your mobile device, but also on your PC, if you consider this as more comfortable. However, you can not sign up for WeChat via PC, and it can be used only after you successfully verified your account in WeChat.
If you have already signed up for WeChat, then you also can face the necessity to verify your account again, for example, you lost your mobile phone and you need to enter WeChat again. In this case there are some main approaches which we are going to tell you about below.
Help Friend Log in is an easy way to verify your account in WeChat via your WeChat friend. If you have WeChat friends, use friend verification: open WeChat, tap the corresponding option in WeChat, your friend will receive a temporary verification code, he or she only needs to send you this code in WeChat. As a result, your verification will be successful. However, if you have a WeChat account, but do not have a WeChat friend, this approach is irrelevant and you need to use other methods.
If you have a WeChat ID, you can also try to verify your account in WeChat via SMS verification. You need to choose the corresponding option and receive this code that will be sent to your phone. While the verification code is valid, you need to enter it and after that you can log in to WeChat and get access to your account.
First of all, trying to recover your WeChat account locked you will need a friend who has a valid WeChat account for more than six months. Make sure that your friend did not help anyone to unblock WeChat or unfreeze their accounts within the last 30 days. WeChat has a limit on the number of verified friends: one can help in verification to one friend once a month, two friends twice a year, and three friends three times a year. This is the official limitation imposed by Tencent.
As we have already noted, if you have any problems related to unblocking your WeChat account, you can go to WeChat Help Center and ask the support team for help. However, you should remember this process needs time and it is necessary to be patient to overcome your WeChat account problems.
There was some initial planning, the milestone was moved to NC 12:

The Two Factor TOTP Provider is good, but I think it will be better if we can just scan a QR code and login, without entering any login information in the browser, and since you are scanning it with your phone, you already have the two factor verification.
Actually when you changed phones, did you migrate the data or did you simply did it from a clean slate and tried logging in from your new phone without migrating? Or did you wipe the phone completely when you tried to login?
Wechat is immensely popular in china. I searched the forum and saw numerous requests for out-of-the-box support for Wechat login. I tried to use the custom extension to support Wechat login but unsuccessful due to a lack of information.
As for federating authentication like we do with Google, Facebook and others, Auth0 can only connect to external identity providers via standard federation protocols like OIDC, OAuth1 and OAuth2. AFAIK WeChat only supports OAuth2 for users signing in on desktop computers, but the flow does not work on mobile devices, which would limit its functionality greatly.
This feature lets users log into third-party sites on their computer by scanning a QR code displayed on the page, using their mobile phone. This reduces any friction new users may encounter in using your site, saving the time and hassle of having to remember yet another password.
Powering on the mobile phone and then launching the WeChat are becoming the main things that users often do after getting up. So it must be a terrible start if you cannot log in WeChat at the beginning of a day, right? But when you encounter such an issue, the first thing you should do is to calm down and figure out what's happening to your WeChat. And normally, the WeChat login problem can be summarized into 5 cases:
Nowadays, most people register different accounts and set disparate passwords for them to meet their needs so it is normal that users would forget some of the passcodes they set sometimes. Hence, you do not need to worry too much when you forget the WeChat password cause there must be some methods for you to access the account or reset the password. And here are 2 ways for your reference.
WeChat always asks its users to associate their WeChat accounts with other accounts like QQ, email or phone number. So there is often at least one account is linked to your WeChat. And this linked account can help you to log in WeChat without the password easily. This would be the easiest and quickest way to access to your WeChat when you forget the password.
If you do not link your WeChat account to any other account, you can only select to reset your password in this case. You can complete the password resetting process simply by clicking on the "..." icon > Forgot password?> Request Retrieval to submit your request. Then you need to confirm the feedback and you will receive a message with a new password after a while. And you can login to WeChat with this new passcode now.
