Quick answer

Check the Account screen in any logged-in Mullvad app first. If you paid by card, the payment token on your bank statement (VPN*xxxxxxxxxx) can recover it, but Mullvad can only trace payments for about 20 days.

Most likely fix: Look in a logged-in app

How to fix it

  1. 1. Look in a logged-in app

    1. Open Mullvad on any device that's still logged in
    2. Tap the account icon to see the account number
