If you’re like most people, you use Instagram to share photos and videos of your life with friends and family. But what if someone hacked into your account and started posting inappropriate content? Or what if you just want to change your password so that no one can access your account without your permission? In this article, we’ll show you how to change your Instagram password. First, head over to the Instagram website and sign in. (If you don’t have an account yet, sign up now!) Next, click on the “Your Account” tab at the top of the screen. On this page, you will see all of your active accounts (including yours!), as well as a list of all of your past posts. To change your password, click on the “Your Account” tab again and then on the “Password” link next to your account name. This will take you to a new page where you can enter new passwords for both yourself and any other accounts that have been linked to your Instagram account. Make sure that both passwords are at least 8 characters long and include at least one number and one letter. Once you have entered both passwords into the appropriate fields, click on the “Create Password” button below them to create a new password for yourself. You will now be returned to the main “Your Account” page where you can confirm that the new passwords are working correctly by clicking on the “Verify Password” button below each post. Finally, make sure that all of your social media accounts are updated with the new password information by clicking on each individual account name in turn and entering in the new password information there too! ..

Fortunately they didn’t succeed, but if you have a weak password, you might not be so lucky. Let’s look at how to change your Instagram password to something a little more secure.
