ICQ will stop working on June 26. It's encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn't know anything of it still remained.

Forgot my password.

Been trying to work out what it was to login for years.

304141822 same here, I try it from time to time in case I remember, but the mail is no longer available anyway.

They removed all the accounts without a linked phone number. So even if you'd remembered your password, chances to log in are about zero.

Sheesh, didn't know. Lost forever then.
