ICQ is an instant messaging client that was first developed and popularized by the Israeli company Mirabilis in 1996. The name ICQ derives from the English phrase "I Seek You". Now you will be able to login with your UIN and your password, go to the settings and attach your e-mail address to your account.Ownership of ICQ passed from Mirabilis to AOL in 1998, and from AOL to Mail.Ru Group in 2010.The UIN was first invented by Mirabilis, as the user name assigned to each user upon registration.
You have successfully set the password for your ICQ account. Here you have to enter your received code, set your new desired password and submit the form again! You probably already guessed – enter your phone number, the captcha and submit the form.Īfter you’ve submitted the form, you will receive another SMS with a code and you will be redirected to the following page: While you logged out, go on the “ Password recovery” site: Go back to the ICQ website, and logout if you already logged in. On the ICQ website or in ICQ itself there is an option to set the password, but the old password, which is unknown, is required too. Sadly ICQ has a bug on their website, which does not allow people to attach an e-mail address without any preparations (setting a password):Īs you can see a password is required to add the desired e-mail address.īut what password? We didn’t enter a password, we just received a code via SMS, that’s it. Right now ICQ allows people to register only with their mobile phone number and later on it is possible to attach an e-mail address to your account.
It’s working much faster and much more smooth than Skype, and is generally quite nice. That’s a free call, video call and chat client for PCs and different mobile phones. Because Skype is getting worse and worse, I suggested to my girlfriend to get the free messenger ICQ.
