If you can remember your Tiktok password. You can just log in without your password. But, you will need your phone number.

The quickest solution is to reset your Tiktok login. To keep the active account, reset the password and delete the old one. And if you must keep two different Tiktok account, use a different email and username. You can also use a different phone. Else, use app clone feature in your phone.

Hi dear admin,
I am unable to login my original account. It says – non local user need to redirect to the storage area when i try to login tiktok account…
What does it mean???
I am having the same issue, when your issue will resolve, then let me know the solution too.
same issue plz tell me
I am unable to create a new account, i get an error saying unable to authorize and then it says you are not eligible straight after? I am 22 years old so should be eligible? Please help!
You can’t use the same phone number for two different accounts. And if you have used the number before you cannot use it again. So, better still, delete the old account from Tiktok and register a new one. More so, your age isn’t the reason why you are not eligible because you are 18+.
I change my Mobile and i am trying to log into my TikTok account from a week. it says that “non-local users need to redirect the storage area.” What does it mean? Why can I not log into my account? Please Reply.
Please, first delete Tiktok app from the old mobile phone. Then, try to login again.
