Forgotten Password of WhatsApp Encrypted Backup

I have logged out of WhatsApp on my iPhone XS Max and am now trying to log in on an iPhone 11. However, I have forgotten the encrypted backup password and don’t want to lose my backup. I also do not have access to my WhatsApp account right now, or I would change the password. Please help me recover the forgotten password so I can access my backup and log in.



iPhone 11, iOS 18

Unfortunately Apple will not be able to help with your encrypted backup or gaining access to your WhatsApp account. That is something you will need to attempt to resolve with WhatsApp through their support. They offer this information about their encrypted backups.

In most cases direct support has not been successful with WhatsApp making resolutions for specific problems very difficult. They do not have a Support forum such as this, but here is their Contact page if you would like to try:
