Login to Instagram

We will learn to log in to instagram, and to do this we are going to resolve some of the most common doubts that arise in this case, trying to also analyze the possibility of access through different devices, and of course solve some of the problems that may occur.

What do I need to enter my Instagram account

As you already know, currently, most social networks offer us the possibility of accessing them using different means.

In this case, to be able to enter Instagram we will need:

• Create an Instagram account.
• Have a Facebook account.

Each of you will be able to opt for either of these two alternatives depending on your needs.

Using a Facebook account, if we have one, can be very simple since we save the registration process on Instagram.

However, the problem is that we linked our Instagram account and the Facebook account we already had.

For this reason, a large number of users choose directly to create an Instagram account since it is a very simple process that we can complete in just a few minutes.

If you don't remember your Instagram username, don't worry, since to log in we have the possibility of entering three different data, which are as follows:

• Username.
• Email we use to register on Instagram.
• Telephone number in case we have linked it to our Instagram account.

Therefore, if you don't remember your username, all you have to do is replace it with your email or phone number.

Obviously, this will help us to log in in the normal way, that is, by creating an Instagram account, while if we usually do it through Facebook, then we don't have to worry, since we don't have to remember any type. username and password.

I can't log into Instagram because I don't remember my password

One of the main problems or, rather, one of the most common is having problems logging in to Instagram because we don't remember the password.

But this also has a very easy solution, since you will only have to follow the steps detailed below:

• The first thing we will do is go to the page to open Instagram, which we link to at the beginning of this article.
• Now we have to notice that, just below the button to log in with Facebook, we have the link “Have you forgotten the password?”.

• We click and a window like this will appear:

• In the box that appears shaded in gray we have to enter our username, the email address we used to register or the phone number if we have linked it.
• Once done, the button on which we will have to click and which has the text “Send access link".
• Now, the only thing left to do is wait for an email to arrive to our email that will include a link which will allow us to create a new password to recover the account, with which the problem will have been completely solved.

I think someone is accessing my Instagram account

It is possible that at some point we have the feeling that someone is accessing our Instagram account.

This can often happen because we see publications that we have not made, or we are even linked to people that we had not added.

In any case, if it happens that you have the feeling that someone is using your account, below we are going to indicate the steps you must take to avoid it.

We assume that, although someone is accessing our account, we can continue logging in without problem, so this is what we will do:

• Change the password of your Instagram account.
• Revoke access for third-party applications that may be accessing your account.
• We recommend that you activate two-step authentication as this will further increase security.

I think someone has stolen my Instagram account

However, we can also find ourselves in a similar situation, that is, being certain that someone has entered our Instagram account, but that, in addition, they have also changed the access data in a way that has made it impossible for us to access the information. log in.

Obviously, in this case we would already be talking about account theft, something that we must take very seriously since it can be used to impersonate our identity.

If this is our circumstance, below we are going to indicate the steps you must take.

Report the account that has been stolen

The first thing we have to do is report that our account has been stolen, and to do this we are going to explain how to carry out the process with devices with the Android operating system and with the iPhone device.

Steps to report an Instagram account with Android

If your device has an Android operating system, what we have to do is the following:

• Open the Instagram app.
• Click on the option "Get help".
• Enter your username, email account, or phone number that is linked to your Instagram account.
• Click on “Do you need more help?”.
• Follow the steps that it tells you, and in the end you will receive an email from Instagram with the steps that you have to carry out next and that we detail a little later.

Steps to report an Instagram account with iOS

And in the case that it is an iPhone smartphone, this is what you have to do:

• Start the Instagram application.
• Click “Forgot your password?”
• Now click on “Do you need more help?”
• You will have to enter your email address to continue with the process.
• Follow the steps indicated and wait for an email from Instagram to arrive where the rest of the process will be explained.

Verify your identity with the Instagram team

Now that we have denounced that the Instagram account has been stolen, the next step will be to verify our identity, so that the team can give us access again.

As we told you in the process of reporting account theft, we had to wait for an email to follow.

Once we receive it, we will see that we are asked for a way through which we can identify ourselves, that is, we have the possibility of proving that the Instagram account is ours, that we are the legitimate owners.

Generally they will ask us for one of the following:

• Send a photo of ourselves in which we appear holding a code written on a piece of paper. This code will be provided in the message itself.
• Send the email address or phone number with which we had registered. We also have to indicate the type of device we use during registration.

Obviously, all we have to do is send the information requested, after which our identity can be verified.

Instagram account recovery process

Now we have almost everything done, since the only thing left is to wait to receive a new email where a series of instructions will be sent to us that we must follow.

We are not going to detail these instructions here, especially because they will be personalized in our particular case, so all we have to do is comply with what the email tells us, and we will soon recover our account.

Remember that, once you recover it, it is important that you increase security with these tips:

• Do not give your password to anyone.
• Use two-step verification.
• Change your password at least every three months.
• Use strong passwords that are difficult to guess.
• Link a mobile phone number.
• Sign out when you finish using Instagram.
• Avoid using social networks on public computers.
• Protect your devices and equipment with antivirus that prevents the entry of any keylogger that could reveal your private information.

By following these tips, you will see that it is much more difficult for anyone to not only steal your account, but also access your private information, an aspect that we must take into account today to achieve maximum protection for both ourselves and our clients. accounts.

With this we hope that you have learned how to log in to Instagram and solve some of the most frequent problems.
