Here's how to get those old Bebo photos back

Don’t worry, you don’t need your password.

YOU MAY HAVE noticed that some of those old Bebo photos are coming back to haunt you. Bebo have begun giving users back their old photos and blogs, and if you know your old username and password or have access to the associated email account, you can get yours back. The deadline is 15 March though, so get a move on.

Here’s what you need to do.

1. Download the new Bebo app for iPhone or Android. If you don’t have either, you can email support@bebo.com and beg.

2. Create your Bebo character and you will be given a chat screen with a Bebo bot, @teambebo

abebo3

3. Open the chat and type #OldPhotos

abebo2

4. You’ll be given a screen like this to enter the details of the account you want to recover photos and blogs from

abebo1

5. If you’ve forgotten your username and password, not to worry. The email you used with the account will suffice.

6. Await that faithful email with a .zip file containing your old stuff, and start tagging everyone on Facebook.

    Can’t even get the things that are in the screenshots. No TeamBebo or anything; no one online; had to email Team Bebo asking for #oldphotos.
