How to Change Passcode for My Eyes Only on Snapchat

Snapchat's My Eyes Only feature allows you to hide your private photos and videos behind a passcode.

If someone else discovers your My Eyes Only passcode, you may want to change it to keep your content secure. Thankfully, Snapchat gives you an easy way to pick a new passcode.

Keep in mind that you need to already know your current My Eyes Only passcode to change it.

If you forgot your old passcode, you won't be able to access your hidden snaps anymore. Changing the passcode does not delete anything in My Eyes Only.

Follow These Steps to Change Your Passcode

1. Open Snapchat and go to Memories

Tap the memories icon on the left side of the camera screen. You can also swipe up from the bottom of the main camera screen. This takes you to your Memories section.

2. Tap the My Eyes Only tab

Scroll all the way right through the Memories tabs at the top. Tap on the My Eyes Only tab.

3. Select the Options menu

Look in the bottom right and tap on the three-dot Options menu.

4. Tap Change Passcode

This menu shows a Change Passcode button. Tap it to begin changing your existing passcode.

5. Enter current passcode

Type in your current My Eyes Only passcode on the next screen. Snapchat needs you to confirm your identity.

6. Type new 4-digit passcode

After entering the current code, you can type your new 4-digit passcode. Make sure it's unique and not easy to guess.

7. Re-enter the new passcode

To confirm, Snapchat forces you to re-type your brand new passcode. Match what you entered on the previous screen.

8. Review and confirm

If the passcode looks correct, tick the box to confirm you understand the risks. Then tap Continue to proceed.

9. Tap Finish

The final screen will show a success message that you changed your passcode. Tap Finish to complete the process.

Now only you will know the new passcode to access your private Memories in Snapchat. You can repeat these steps at any time to create yet another passcode.
