How do you recover your instagram password

How to Reset or Change Your Instagram Password

• You can change your Instagram password from the Settings menu of the mobile app or website.
• If you log into Instagram via Facebook, you'll need to update your password on Facebook.
• You can reset your Instagram password from a link under the password field on the login screen.

Maintaining security for online sites and services — particularly social media accounts — takes diligence. If you still log into Instagram with a weak password, a password that is duplicated on other sites, or one that might have been compromised in a hack or data breach, it might be time for a change.

Thankfully, whether you want to change your Instagram password on your computer or mobile device, you can do it in just a few steps. 

Note: If you log into Instagram using Facebook, you need to change your password through Facebook's settings, not through Instagram.

The steps to change your password in the mobile app are essentially the same for both iOS and Android.

1. Open the Instagram app.

2. Tap your account icon in the lower-right corner to go to your profile page.

Quick tip: If you have multiple Instagram accounts and want to change the password for a different account, tap and hold the account icon at the bottom of the screen and choose the account you want from the pop-up window.

3. Tap the three horizontal lines in the top-right of the screen and tap Settings.

4. Tap Security.

5. On the Security page, tap Password.

7. Enter your current password and then type the new password you want to use. When you're done, tap Save (if you're using iOS) or the checkmark (on Android).

1. Open the Instagram website.

2. Click the hamburger menu (the three-dot icon) in the bottom-left corner, and in the menu that appears, click Settings.

3. In the left side menu, click Change Password.

4. On the right side, enter your current password and then type the new password you want to use. When you're done click Change Password.

If you've lost or forgotten your password, you may need to reset it. You can do that from the login screen on the mobile app or in a browser on desktop.

1. On your Android device, open Instagram so you can see the login screen. 

2. Under the username and password fields, tap Get help logging in.

3. Enter your email address, phone number, or username, and then tap Next.

4. You'll get a message with instructions on how to reset your password.

1. On your device, open Instagram so you see the login screen.

2. Under the username and password fields, tap Forgot password?

3. Choose which tab you want to use — Username or Phone — and enter the appropriate credentials associated with your account, then tap Next.

4. Follow the instructions in the message you receive to reset your password.

1. Go to the Instagram website in a browser and on the login screen, under the username and password fields, click Forgot password?

2. Enter your email address, phone number, or username and tap Send Login Link.

3. You'll get a message with instructions on how to reset your password.
