What does the number 74843 mean in a text message or on Snapchat?

The number 74843 is mostly associated with Snapchat's phone verification process. It's a number used by Snapchat to send users a verification code when they want to change the phone number associated with their account, reset their password, or set up a two-factor authentication.

If you get a text message with a code from 74843, it is expected to be sent by Snapchat for verification purposes. However, if you didn’t request a code or see anything suspicious on your account, you should not respond to it and contact Snapchat’s official support channels.
