Restoring access to your Instagram account

Access to the Instagram account is carried out using a password and login. You can use different values as a login: phone number, mail or account name. And there is only one password, so if you forget it, you should immediately restore it.

Why do I need a password

Regardless of what value you use as a login, the password will be the same. It is your universal key, knowing which you can confirm that it is you who are trying to get into your account, and not some intruder. For security reasons, Instagram won't give you access to your account without entering your password, so you'll have to restore the key.

Instagram password recovery procedure

The Instagram resource will not show you the currently set password, as this is against security rules. Instead, it will allow you to set a new password if it makes sure the host is requesting a password reset. To do this, he will send a letter with a request to verify his identity to the phone or email associated with the account.

The process of resetting the password and installing a new one can be done both on a computer through any browser and on a mobile device through the application. If for some reason you do not want to use the mobile application, open the browser on your phone or tablet and follow the steps described in the "Using the browser" section.

Using a browser

Follow these steps to reset and set your password:

1. Go to the official website of the resource. On the main tab there is a registration table, do not enter anything into it.

2. Click on "Login" to go to the authorization window. Do not prescribe anything in it.

   

   Press the button "Login"

3. Use the "Forgot your password?" Button to start the recovery procedure.

   

   Press the button "Forgot your password?"

4. Write down the data that the resource will require. First you will need to enter a login, and then the recovery code, which the system will send to your phone or mail.

   

   Enter login

5. When you verify your identity, the system will allow you to install a new key. After you do this, you can log into your account using your old username and new password.

   

   Enter the email address

Using the app

If you are using a mobile application on iOS or Android, then go through the following steps:

1. Once you've opened Instagram, use the Forgot your login information? Button to initiate the reset process.

   

   Press the button "Forgot your login information?"

2. Specify the data required by the system. First, enter your login, and then the code that will be sent to your phone or mail.

   

   Enter your mail or phone number to get the key

3. After confirming your identity, you will be given the opportunity to enter a new password. Having done this, you can return to the login window, enter the old username and new password and be in your account.

You can only recover your Instagram password by installing a new one instead. This can be done either through any browser or through a mobile application available for free installation in the Play Market and App Store. After setting the new value, you will be able to log into your account.
