Adding and Updating the Recovery Phone Number in Your Wix Account

Adding a confirmed recovery phone number can help you recover your Wix account if you're having problems signing in. 
For example, if you can't remember your password and you don't have access to the email associated with your account, you won't be able to reset your password via email. You can use your recovery phone number to get a one-time SMS code to log in with instead.
Tip:
If you've forgotten the email address of your Wix account, you can try to find it using the Wix email locator.
