Keeping online sites and services secure takes time and effort, especially social media accounts. So, it is time to change if you are still logging into Instagram with a weak password, a password duplicated on other sites, or a password compromised in a hack or data breach.<\/p>
Fortunately, you can change your Instagram password on your computer or mobile device in just a few steps.<\/p>
The steps for changing your password in the mobile app are nearly identical for iOS and Android.<\/p>
On your phone or tablet, launch the Instagram app. In your app drawer, it’s the purple-red-orange gradient icon with a white, square camera. This will take you to the sign-in page.
Instagram for Android is available on the Google Play Store.<\/p>
If you’re already logged in and want to change your password, tap the profile icon at the bottom, then the menu at the top-right, and then Settings Privacy and Security Password.<\/p>
However, if you don’t remember your current password, tap Reset Password with Facebook (if available) or Forgot Password? to proceed with this method.<\/p>
Tap Get assistance with signing in. It’s just below the sign-in form.<\/p>
You may need to first tap Log in.<\/p>
Enter your e-mail address, phone number, or username. When entering an email address or phone number, use the one associated with your account.<\/p>
To complete the password reset process, you must have access to this email address or phone number.<\/p>
If your Instagram account is linked to Facebook, scroll down and tap Log In with Facebook, then sign in with your Facebook account. If you don’t remember your Facebook login information, you must change your Facebook password.<\/p>
