Losing access to your Mi account ID can be terrifying. All of a sudden, you can no longer use products and all services Xiaomi offers (MIUI, Duokan, Mi Talk, Mi Themes, Mi Store, Mi Community, etc.) While it might be disastrous to the level of losing a Gmail account, it’s still a pretty huge blow. Some people even rely on Xiaomi to store their photos and other types of backup to Xiaomi Cloud. Long story short, it makes no sense to give up on it, even if it was hacked or you forgot the login credentials. Instead, learn how to recover Mi account ID and sign back in.
What is the Mi ID?
Mi ID is a unique number assigned after the registration process of every Mi account. It can not be changed by the user or Xiaomi afterward.
A step-by-step guide to recover Mi account ID
1. Use the connected phone number or e-mail address
If you have access to the e-mail address, the phone number, and the password, you can simply sign in and see your Mi ID. There are 3 different ways – choose whichever is most convenient.
- In your browser, visit Xiaomi Accounts and sign in. The ID will be displayed as an 8-10 digit number in the user panel.
- If you’re on your phone, you have two options:
- Launch Settings.
- Find Mi Account in the menu.
It could also be under Apps or Accounts, or a separate app in the app drawer, depending on the phone model. - Sign in, and the number will be at the top of the page, next to Mi Account.
- Find Mi Account in the menu.
- If you’re using the Mi Community app for Android, tap on Me in the bottom corner.
- Tap on View and edit your profile.
- Find your Mi ID in the Profile tab.
- Launch Settings.
2. I lost my Mi account password

3. Last resort: Mi Customer Support
In case your Mi account was hacked, or you either forgot or lost access to your phone number and e-mail address, there’s a chance. Make sure to provide as much information about your account, including account history that can be verified in their database.
Open Xiaomi’s Contact Us page in your browser.
- Browse the list for your country. When you find it, use the available information to get in touch.
- If your country isn’t on the list, send an e-mail to [email protected]. Describe your situation concisely, but don’t include any login credentials. Wait for a response and try to assist the representative. The employees only use English, so pay attention to that.
And that was it! If you follow these instructions to retrieve a Mi account ID, you’ll be back to using the Mi Store and posting on the Mi Community pages in no time!
