Registering/checking/changing your email address and password

The method for creating a new LINE account differs depending on the country you live in. See either of the methods below.

Users that live in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, or Thailand

You need a device that can receive text messages to create a LINE account. If you don't have a device that can receive text messages, you can verify your phone number with the Call me instead option if your device supports voice calls.
Note:
- Even if your device can receive text messages, you will not be able to use virtual phone numbers or phone numbers that start with 050.
- Be sure to use a phone number offered by a mobile service provider.

If you're using a non-smartphone cell phone for children, you won't be able to create or use a LINE account. If you're using a smartphone for children and cannot receive text messages, either create a new LINE account with Call me instead or check your contracted plan with your mobile service provider.
Note: The above information does not apply to some countries.

About main and sub devices:
Main device
Your main device (typically your smartphone) is the device you used to create your LINE account. On your main device, you can manage your LINE account information, such as your phone number, email address, and password. To change your main device and use the same LINE account when you change devices, you need to transfer your LINE account.

Be advised

If you register a new account using a phone number, Apple ID, or Google Account that is already verified on another main device, your previous LINE account will be automatically deleted. Please understand that we cannot restore an account after it is deleted.

Sub device
When you use the same LINE account as your main device on other devices (typically PCs or tablets), those devices are referred to as sub devices. By logging into a sub device with the LINE account information you registered on your main device, you'll be able to use the same account on both devices.

Useful info

I'm not receiving the password reset email

Making a secure password:
When setting a password, it's important for it to be secure and difficult for other people to guess.

To set a secure password, make sure it:
• Is a complex combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

• Doesn't use personal information, such as:
- Your nickname or initials.
- The name of a child or pet.
- A birthday or anniversary of you or a loved one.
- Your address.

• Doesn't use typical strings of characters or words, such as:
- Easy to guess words or phrases (e.g. "password" or "iloveyou").
- Consecutive letters or numbers (e.g. "123456" or "abc123").
- Strings that follow the keyboard layout (e.g. "qwerty" or "1q2w3e").

Note: Your password must contain 8-20 non-repeating half-width characters, and be a combination of at least three of the following types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

For the best online security, make sure not to recycle passwords, but rather to set and safely manage a different passcode/password for each online service you use.

Making use of software and OS features to manage your passwords is another way to achieve secure password creation and management. You can get a complex password with ease and peace of mind by using a software feature to automatically generate a password.

If you use software to manage your passwords, you can use all different passwords for each service without the burden of remembering them.

When setting a password, it's important for it to be secure and difficult for other people to guess.

To set a secure password, make sure it:
• Is a complex combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

• Doesn't use personal information, such as:
- Your nickname or initials.
- The name of a child or pet.
- A birthday or anniversary of you or a loved one.
- Your address.

• Doesn't use typical strings of characters or words, such as:
- Easy to guess words or phrases (e.g. "password" or "iloveyou").
- Consecutive letters or numbers (e.g. "123456" or "abc123").
- Strings that follow the keyboard layout (e.g. "qwerty" or "1q2w3e").
Note: Your password must contain 8-20 non-repeating half-width characters, and be a combination of at least three of the following types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

For the best online security, make sure to set a different passcode/password for each online service you use. Please set different passwords for each internet service to manage them more securely.

Making use of software and OS features to manage your passwords is another way to achieve secure password creation and management. You can get a complex password with ease and peace of mind by using a software feature to automatically generate a password.

If you use software to manage your passwords, you can use all different passwords for each service without the burden of remembering them.
