WeChat ID and mobile phone number signing in WeChat are the most users used. Let me show you why you should add more sign-in ways.
WeChat ID + Password
Apparently, most people use WeChat ID + Password as a way to login to WeChat. But if you’re new to WeChat, you must be can’t memorize WeChat ID. Why? because WeChat ID is set randomly by default. Nobody is able to memorize it. So you need to set your WeChat ID manually so that you can memorize it.
As for passwords, if you already have one, please do not forget it. But if you’re using mobile phone number to create WeChat account. Then, you do need to set a password for your WeChat.
No matter what way you are using to log in WeChat, please write the WeChat ID and passwords down. It will help you to unblock WeChat account. WeChat will require you to provide more information about your account. WeChat ID is an essential part of it. Keep that in mind!

CON: It will be quite hard to memorize if you don’t use it often. The WeChat ID and password can be forgotten easily.
Phone number + Password (or SMS code)
For new users, the mobile phone number was bound to WeChat when they signed up for WeChat account. So you can use the phone number as a login way. And enter a password or SMS verification code to login to WeChat. But if you are new use on WeChat, you should link your mobile phone number to WeChat firstly. And you must do it if you’re a foreigner.
PRO: You don’t need to memorize any password or ID. You still can log in to WeChat.
CON: It’s quite normal to change the phone number or lost the mobile phone. If you don’t set up a WeChat ID and password, then you might be not able to login to WeChat anymore. The mobile phone number is the essential part of WeChat.
Before you change mobile phone device (or lost), please check out this link as WeChat will require you to use old phone device or you should set something up alternatively.
QQ ID or QQ Email + Password
QQ account (QQ ID) and QQ Email are almost the same things. When you get a QQ account, then you get a QQ Email too. All you need to do is add @qq.com.

Facebook sign in to WeChat
WeChat offers you login to WeChat via Facebook. There’s a log in option for login WeChat via Facebook. That’s for foreign users, as Chinese users are not able to connect to Facebook. So don’t hesitate to link your Facebook account to WeChat.
PRO: Login WeChat via Facebook is convenient for foreigners. And enhance WeChat account’s security.
CON: This should be only a backup way, don’t forget to link your mobile phone number and set up WeChat ID, and password.
