Resetting or updating your password is essential. Do it periodically!

There are three different methods of recovering your password on Instagram:

How to recover your Instagram stolen account?

 .

You probably received tons of messages from Instagram to reset your password, when you may not have requested it. It could be an official email from Instagram because someone may have tried to enter your account, but most of the time,it´s because someone is attempting to steal your account.

Using several phishing tricks and techniques (with various topics, official Instagram logos and communication guidelines), hackers try to steal your access data. Please do not believe what they send you!

If you are suspecting an hoax or someone is trying to steal your account, we suggest you not to reply any emails, nor to click on dubious email links provided by email or SMS.

Better go directly to the app and reset your username and password there or from the official Instagram website.
