Instagram is one of the most used social networks in the world. Its purpose is to share current photos. So you can record your happiest moments and your favorite photos!

The Instagram app allows you to always be logged in. This means you don't have to waste time filling in your username and password multiple times. This way, you can save your profile on your device. 

And every time you open the app, your account will already be there. This makes using the social network much easier, but it can also lead you to forget your login details.

After all, if you haven't entered your password in a long time, it may end up getting lost in your memory. And when you need to log into your account on another device, you won't be able to remember it. 

And that’s what we’ll talk about in this article. Find out what to do to solve this problem. Read on: 

After all, how do you recover a forgotten password?

To regain access to your account, you need to resolve the password issue. This is essential to identify the user and avoid problems. 

We will offer 3 ways to resolve this situation: 

  • Recover your password from your email 

Do you still remember the email you used to create your Instagram account? If so, you can recover your password from it. 

Simply open the app and click on the “forgot your password?” option. Then, choose the email option. You will receive an email with instructions for recovery. 

So, reset your password. Write it down somewhere. It could be on a piece of paper, or in your phone's notepad. Somewhere you're sure you won't forget it. 

Some people forget their password and also don't have access to the email address used to create the account. This makes recovery very difficult. 

But the good news is that you can recover your password using just your phone number! If it's linked to your account, of course. 

Simply follow the same process explained in the first situation. But this time, you will select the cell phone number option. Then, fill in your number. You will receive a confirmation SMS. 

Then reset your password! 

Another way to recover your password is through your Facebook login. After all, the two social networks are connected. They have the same owner. Therefore, there is the option of resetting your password with a little help from the other social network. 

But it only works if your Facebook and Instagram accounts are connected, or if they have the same registration email address. 

Is it possible to reset the password using just the username? 

Unfortunately, there is still no way to reset your password using just your username. You will need to use some information such as an email address or cell phone. After all, it’s the only way Instagram can confirm your identity. 

If there were a way to recover a password just by using a username, people would be able to change each other's passwords. Therefore, this option is out of the question. 

Instagram places a high value on the security of its app and its users. And going beyond the limits of this security can make the social network a real mess. 

Therefore, Instagram only makes its functions available to users who confirm their identity. 

I don't have access to my registered email or phone number. What should I do? 

If you are unable to recover your password in any way, create a new account on the social network. There is no longer any way to recover the old one. Creating a new account is 100% free and practical. 

Be careful not to let the situation repeat itself. Always write down important information such as your email address and password. Not just for Instagram, but for any application you register with. 

This way, you avoid having to try to recover accounts. Writing down your passwords in a notebook is essential to avoid forgetting them!
