Good day!
"Classmates" - one of the most popular social networks. networks in our country. And I am relatively often asked about it a fairly typical question: "Is it possible to enter your page without constantly entering a username and password, and if so, how to do it?" ... 👀
In general, usually any modern browser remembers passwords and logins for accessing various sites - i.e. You enter this data once, and later, the browser substitutes it from memory for you!
But sometimes it happens that this does not happen and you again, and again need to enter the data for authorization ...
This article is kind of a little social media post. Odnoklassniki network, about how not to become a victim of deception by SMS hooligans, how to avoid hacking your page, and how to quickly and automatically enter it ...

How to open a page on Odnoklassniki without entering a username and password
Without entering your password and login at all (AT LEAST 1 time!) - it is impossible to enter Odnoklassniki! Exactly like on any other site where you need to register. 👌
In general, ideally, the browser remembers your password and login, and then enters them instead of you, thanks to this, your page automatically opens for you.
👉 If you previously had data saved in your browser, and you automatically entered your page, but now, by going to OK.RU, you see a form with a request to enter your username and password, which means the following could happen:
- reset the browser cache (for example, it is often recommended to delete it if the pages are not displayed correctly in the browser);
- You have installed a new browser (or reinstalled the old one) and are trying to enter the page using it;
- updated (reinstalled) Windows OS;
- cleaned the computer / laptop using some utility to remove "garbage" (temporary files, cache, etc.);
- trying to access the site from someone else's / new computer (from which you have not logged on to the network before);
- your PC is infected with a virus (and, perhaps, you did not even go to the real Odnoklassniki website page. Caution! Do not rush to send any SMS until you check if the address is correct, and if everything is in order with the HOSTS file).
👉 Important!
Official pages of "Odnoklassniki":
- //ok.ru/
- //www.odnoklassniki.ru/
Carefully look at the address bar of your browser: does the address match the above and is there a "lock" icon (means a secure connection via HTTPS. How it looks in Chrome - shown in the screenshot below).
Check the address bar and lock icon! / Chrome browser
In general, if the Odnoklassniki page seems strange to you, you are asked to send SMS to short numbers, enter some codes that you have never entered before - I recommend that you check your computer for special viruses. software.
Now let's go directly to saving passwords (so as not to enter them every time you visit OK.RU).
And so, when you go to the main page and enter your password and login, there is a check mark "Remember me" ... Be sure to check it so as not to enter this data again.
Note: there may be no "check marks" (as in the screenshot below 👇) - then immediately after entering the browser will ask you "whether to save the data for the next login" - just click "Yes".
Remember me (password and login on OK.RU)
Also Please note that all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.) when entering any site, you will be prompted to save your password and login (unless their default settings have been changed).
How it looks in the Chrome browser - you can see the screenshot below.
Note: such a form appears automatically (no need to click anything!) After a successful login to any site for which the password has not yet been saved in the browser.
Save password in Chrome
👉 Important!
If you enter your page from someone else's PC / laptop, then do not save the password to your page so that no one can use it after you work on this computer.
👉 Tip!
Many people have one computer at home, which is shared by several family members.
If you do not know how to properly configure multiuser mode in Windows, then do one simple thing - let one user use one browser for Odnoklassniki (say, Firefox), and another, say, Chrome (in this case, the pages of one and another user will be opened automatically!).

How to quickly enter your page on Odnoklassniki
(straight from the desktop)
To get right to your page by double-clicking the mouse, you just need to create a shortcut on the desktop (by the way, this question is asked quite often 👌).
First, right click on the desktop and open the tab "New / Shortcut" (example on the screenshot below).
Create shortcut
Then enter in the line "Specify the location of the object" address //ok.ru/ (note: this is the main page of Odnoklassniki). Click the button "Further" and save the resulting shortcut. 👇
Link to OK
Now you will have an icon on your desktop, by double-clicking on it, your browser will open the Odnoklassniki page by default. If you often use this social. network - such a shortcut is very convenient, and allows you to save time (and not make unnecessary gestures 👌).
Quick login to OK.RU
By the way, if the page will open in the wrong browser, change the default program. To do this, click Win + i, open the tab "Default Applications" and install the browser you want (for example, Chrome).

How to protect yourself from page hacking
Probably, I will be contradictory, but any page can be hacked, no matter how you protect yourself (since not everything depends only on you - there may be a problem on the service side). But following a simple series of recommendations, this can happen with a very, very small probability.
I will also add that in most cases the reason for hacking is the user himself, his carelessness and lack of foresight.
And so, the main reasons for hacking ...
1) Easy, short password
Many users do not bother themselves and choose a password, like: "password", "admin", "love", "god", etc. Those. the most common words!
Even the brute-force method can easily guess such a password! Therefore, use passwords 6-10 characters long, in which there will be numbers and letters, preferably of different case. Example: uYtr73J09.

How to create a strong password (or the most ridiculous passwords that can be cracked)
By the way, many people take their date of birth as a password, which is indicated on their own page. In general, no comment ... 😎
2) Same passwords
Try not to use the same passwords on different sites and services. The fact is that if you are hacked on one site, then this information can be used to other sites as well.
Many people make the mistake of entering the same mail (that is, login) and password to any sites on which they register (even on very dubious resources).
3) Hacking mail
In general, mail should have the highest security requirements. The fact is that if an attacker gains access to your mail, he will be able to gain access to many sites where you are registered.
I'm not even talking about the fact that many in the mail store a lot of personal information that services and sites sent them during the registration process ...
4) Use of anonymizers
Some people want to hide their activity (or something else there 😎) with the help of anonymizer sites - often there are "gray" sites among them, with the help of which your passwords are leaked.
I would not recommend using them at all, unless, of course, you want to lose access to your page ...
5) Using software for cheating and other "dubious" cases
The same as the previous point.Among such software there are a lot of Trojans, viruses, programs that steal personal information.
Moreover, you can lose not only access to Odnoklassniki, but also to the Internet bank (for example)!
6) Lack of antivirus
If you do not have a modern antivirus installed on your PC, with regular updates, then you are at greater risk.
The fact is that antiviruses (no matter how we scold them) protect your PC from most of the known threats on the network, and help keep your system safe.

If your page is blocked
Do not rush to immediately create a new page. In general, there are quite a few reasons to block your page, for example, the suspicious activity of your profile (what if you were hacked ?!), sending spam, posting materials that violate the law, etc. (in the latter case, by the way, unblocking is not an easy task) ...
In most cases, especially if your account has been blocked due to suspicious activity (in case of hacking), to unblock it, just enter a few numbers into the window that will be sent to you via SMS.
👉 Caution!
If your PC is infected with viruses, you may not be on the official Odnoklassniki website, and by sending (entering) codes with SMS, you will transfer money to the cybercriminals.
Firstly, make sure that there is a "lock" sign in the address bar and the address exactly matches the official one (see the screen below 👇).
Check the address bar and lock icon!
Secondly, I recommend that you check your PC for viruses before entering any codes from SMS!
If a blocking is associated with violation of any rules, restoring access via SMS is unlikely to be available, and you will need to contact the technical department (for some reason, many do not do this).
In most cases, if you behave adequately and with restraint, describe exactly how and what happened - you will almost certainly be "pardoned" and unblocked. 👌
