Troubleshooting: Account Registration Issues with TikTok Email - Possible Solutions
TikTok, the popular social media platform, has strict policies in place to ensure the safety and security of its users. This can sometimes lead to issues when trying to create a new account, especially if you've had a previous account under the same email address.
One common problem is the email already being registered. If you encounter a message stating that your email isn't registered, it's likely that the email is linked to an existing TikTok account or one that was banned or suspended. To resolve this, try resetting the password for that email to regain access or use a different email address.
Another issue is age verification restrictions. TikTok requires users to meet minimum age requirements and may block sign-up attempts if age data or verification is insufficient or flagged. Confirm your birthdate meets TikTok’s minimum age (usually 13+), or provide additional ID verification if requested.
If the email is linked to accounts restricted from creating new accounts due to terms violations or safety laws, you won’t be able to reuse it. In extreme cases, TikTok may completely ban certain email domains from being able to create new accounts.
To bypass these restrictions, register with a new email or phone number that has not been associated with a TikTok account before. It's also important to carefully double-check that your email is typed properly in both the first email field and the confirm email field.
Sometimes, sign-up fails due to simple mistakes in the email input. So, always ensure you've typed your email correctly.
If you signed up for TikTok through Apple iOS login, your account access is handled by Apple ID under the hood. Similarly, if you previously signed up for TikTok through Facebook Login, your account relies on Facebook's login credentials instead of an email registration.
If you have an old TikTok account tied to your email, trying to create a new account with the same email will result in the message that your email isn't registered. In such cases, using a different email address is the solution.
It's also worth noting that TikTok only allows one account per email address as a spam and security measure. If you have an unverified TikTok account created already, TikTok considers that email as already registered and blocks you from creating another new one.
TikTok does experience site bugs or login technical difficulties on their backend that could prevent your email from registering properly. If you're still having trouble, it might be a good idea to wait for a while (around a month reportedly) after deleting your prior TikTok account before that email can be registered anew.
Lastly, multiple people having access to a shared email account can lead to someone else registering for TikTok under that shared address, causing registration issues. To avoid this, it's best to use separate emails for separate accounts.
In summary, TikTok does not allow the same email to be used to create multiple accounts, especially if the previous account is active, suspended, or flagged. Age-related restrictions and verification requirements also affect account creation. Using a new or different email typically resolves the issue.
- Cybersecurity measures on TikTok can prevent you from creating a new account if your email is already registered on the platform, even if it's linked to an old, inactive, or banned account.
- Technology advances have resulted in TikTok adopting strict verification procedures, especially for age, which may block sign-up attempts and require additional ID verification to safeguard the platform from misuse.
