Hack recovery YouTube Music

YouTube Music hacked?
Here’s how to get it back.

The official recovery page for a hacked YouTube Music account, in plain English, plus what to lock down once you’re back in.

Watch for recovery scams. Never pay someone who messages you offering to get your account back, and be wary of any “support” phone number you find in a search. Real help starts on YouTube Music’s own site.

Open YouTube Music’s hacked account page

Locked out?
Try these in order.

Everything here starts from YouTube Music’s own help pages. Use only those, never a link someone sends you.

  1. Open YouTube Music’s hacked account page

    Go to support.google.com in a browser you trust, typing it from this page rather than following a link from a message.

  2. What that page covers

    YouTube Music describes this page as: “Secure a hacked or compromised Google Account, which is what YouTube Music signs in with.”

  3. Check the email and phone on the account

    If the hacker changed the email address or phone number on your YouTube Music account, change them back. If you can’t, lock down the email account itself first, because that inbox can be used to reset everything else.

  4. Set a new password nobody has seen

    Choose one you’ve never used anywhere else. If YouTube Music has an option to sign out every device or review recent logins, use it.

  5. If you’re still locked out

    Look for a contact or support option in YouTube Music’s Help Center, starting from the page above. Ignore anyone who messages offering to get the account back for a fee.

Still logged in?
Lock it down now.

If you can still get in, do these before the hacker notices.

  • Change your password to one you’ve never used anywhere else.
  • Review where you’re signed in and sign out every device or session you don’t recognize, if YouTube Music shows them.
  • Check the email address and phone number on the account, and the email account behind it.
  • Turn on two-factor authentication if YouTube Music offers it.
  • Undo anything you didn’t do: posts, messages, payment or payout details, and linked apps.
  • Change the password anywhere you reused it.

Never go through
this alone again.

  • Connect through the platform you already use. Tap Connect and approve it inside Instagram. No passwords.
  • Alerts by text and in the app. The moment something looks wrong, you hear about it.
  • Recovery, or you get paid. If we can’t recover your account, you get paid up to $25,000.
