How to See Instagram Password in Settings

Forgetting your Instagram password can be frustrating! Instagram doesn’t display passwords directly in its app for security reasons. Thankfully, though, if you’ve saved your Instagram password on your device or browser, you can find it without going through a reset.

Here’s a quick guide on checking your Instagram password for iPhone, Android, and popular web browsers.

Method 1: Check Passwords Stored in Your Device Settings

Most smartphones allow you to save and view passwords securely within the device settings. Here’s how to do it for both iOS and Android.

For iPhone (iOS):

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap on Passwords.
3. Use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock this section.
4. In the search bar, type Instagram to find the saved password.
5. Tap on Instagram to see the saved password.

For Android:

1. Go to Settings and select Google.
2. Tap on Manage your Google Account and navigate to the Security tab.
3. Under Password Manager, find Saved passwords.
4. Use the search bar to type Instagram and select it.
5. Tap on Instagram, then use your fingerprint or password to view the saved password.

Method 2: Check Saved Passwords in Web Browsers

If you’ve ever logged into Instagram using a web browser and saved your password, it may be stored there. Here’s how to check:

For Chrome (Desktop or Mobile):

1. Open Chrome and go to Settings.
2. In Settings, select Autofill and then Passwords.
3. Use the search bar to find Instagram.
4. Tap on Instagram, then authenticate (if prompted) to reveal the password.

For Safari (Mac, iPhone, iPad):

1. On a Mac, open Safari and go to Preferences > Passwords. On an iPhone/iPad, go to Settings > Passwords.
2. Use Touch ID, Face ID, or your password to unlock it.
3. Search for Instagram in the list of saved passwords.
4. Click or tap on Instagram to view the saved password.

Method 3: Reset Password (If You Can’t Find It)

If you haven’t saved your password in your device or browser settings, you can reset it directly through Instagram.

1. Open the Instagram app or go to the Instagram login page in a browser.
2. Tap on Forgot Password? below the log-in fields.
3. Enter your email address, username, or phone number linked to your Instagram account.
4. Follow the instructions sent to your email or phone to reset your password.

Tips for Secure Password Management

• Use a Password Manager: A password manager is an app that securely stores all your passwords and auto-fills them when you log in to apps or websites. Apps like LastPass and 1Password allow you to create and store unique, complex passwords without remembering each one.
• Enable two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security. By enabling 2FA, you’ll be required to verify your login through a second method, like a code sent to your phone or a verification app.
• Create Strong Passwords: Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters for stronger, more unpredictable passwords. Avoid common phrases or easily guessable details like “Password123” or your birthdate.
• Avoid Reusing Passwords Across Sites Using the same password for multiple accounts puts you at risk. Use unique passwords for each account.

Conclusion

These are the easiest ways to find your Instagram password through device settings, browser settings, or by resetting it if it’s not saved anywhere. Make sure to use strong, unique passwords and follow good security practices to keep your account safe.
