Firstly, you can reset it by tapping on “Forgot password?” on the login screen.

Then, follow the on-screen instructions to reset it.

However, if you’re already logged into Instagram, you might be wondering how you can see your Instagram password in the app without having to reset it.

After all, seeing your Instagram password is a better alternative than resetting it.

In this article, I will tell you how to see your Instagram password while logged in on both iPhone and Android devices.

How to see your Instagram password

After that, copy your Instagram password to paste it into the “password” field available on the login screen of IG.

If you are not able to find “instagram.com”, you can search for “facebook.com” instead.

The reason is, you might have used the same password for your Instagram account as you used on your Facebook.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to sign into your Instagram by using this method.

Step 1. Go to your phone’s settings

In this article, I will guide you on how to fix archive stories not showing, not loading, not working, or missing on Instagram.

How to Fix “You Can’t Send Messages for 3 Days” on Instagram

How to Delete Your Threads Account

Have you forgot your Instagram password but you don’t have access to your email or phone number?

You will not be able to reset your password on Instagram if you don’t have access to your email or phone number.

Therefore, you have to contact Instagram support to get help in recovering your account.

If you think that your account is hacked you need to do it.

However, it is a hard nut to crack to contact Instagram support because it is very difficult to reach them.

Recovering your account is also hard as well because it will ask you to verify your identity.

To complete the verification, you need to take a photo of yourself holding a code.

In this article, I will tell you how to recover your Instagram account without an email or phone number so that you can reset your password.

How to recover your Instagram account without email or phone number

To recover your Instagram account without email or phone number, you have to visit the “Get more help?” page.

After that, you can request support and you have to tap on “I can’t access this email or phone number”.

The “Request Support” form will be open by tapping on “I can’t access this email or phone number”.

The form will ask you to enter an email address that you want Instagram to use to contact IG.

After that, provide the email address that is associated with your Instagram account.

You have to complete a couple of questionnaires next to a description of your issue.

After submitting the form, you have to wait to get an email from Instagram.

The email will ask you to take a photo of yourself holding a code.

This process will help you to verify your identity and prove that you are the real owner of the Instagram account.

In the end, Instagram will send you an email that will contain a link to reset your password.

Here’s a step by step guide on how to recover your Instagram account without email or phone number:

Step 1. Go to “Get more help?”

First of all, go to Instagram and visit the login page.

If you are using your second account which is logged in, visit your profile and tap on your username.

After that, tap on “Add account” next to “Log In to Existing Account”.

After reaching the login page, tap on “Forgotten password?”.

The “Forgotten password?” link is available under the password field.

After tapping on “Forgotten Password?”, it will take you to the “Trouble with logging in?” page.

You will be able to either enter your username, email address, or phone number on that page.

Since you don’t have access to your email or phone number, you will only enter your username there.

First of all, in the “Username” field, you will enter your Instagram username.

If a hacker has hacked your account and changed your username on Instagram, you have to find your new username.

It can be done by going through your previous likes or the following list of people who follow you.

After that, you need to tap on “Need more help?” rather than “Next”.

Before you tap on “Need more help?”, you need to ensure that you have entered your Instagram username.

Otherwise, it will redirect you to the Instagram Help Center.

Step 2. Request support

After entering your Instagram username and tapping on “Need more help?”, it will take you to the “Help Us Recover Your Account” page.

The page will show you the email address that is associated with your Instagram account.

If the email address given is yours, you can use “Send Security Code” button and tap on it to send a security code to your email.

However, if it is not yours, it indicates that someone has changed the email.

As a result, you will not be able to send a security code to your email.

So, instead of using “Send Security Code” option, tap on “I can’t access this email or phone number”.

The “I can’t access this email or phone number” link will be available at the bottom of the page.

After tapping on “I can’t access this email or phone number”, it will take you to the “Request Support” form.

With this form, you can contact Instagram support to get help.

First of all, enter the email address that you want to use for Instagram contact.

Kindly use only email address that you have access to.

After that, enter the email address that is associated with your Instagram account.

After that, you will have to complete a couple of questionnaires.

The first question you need to answer is, “What type of account are you trying to access?”.

If you have a personal Instagram account, select the “Personal account with photos of me” option.

Otherwise, you can choose any option that is suitable for your account.

After that, the next question you need to answer is, “What is the reason for this request?”.

Since you no longer have access to the email that is associated with your Instagram account, you need to select the “I can’t log into the email on my account” option.

If your Instagram account is hacked, choose the “My account was hacked” option in that case.

After that, you need to describe the issue that you’re getting.

Take this description as an example, “Hi, I lost access to my email and phone number, need help to reset my password”.

In the end, you can submit the form to Instagram support by tapping on “Request Support”.

Step 3. Wait for Instagram’s email & follow the instructions in it

After submitting the form, the next step is to wait for Instagram’s response.

You will receive a reply via email from Instagram.

In most cases, the team of Instagram sends you a reply within 24 hours on the email that you have provided.

You will be asked by them to attach a photo of yourself holding a handwritten copy of a code.

To verify your identity, you have to reply the email with the attachment.

You must include the code, your full name, and your Instagram username in that photo.

Additionally, the photo must be well-lit and should not be too small or blurry.

Once you have taken a satisfactory photo, reply to the email with an attachment of it.

After sending a photo of yourself holding a handwritten copy of a code to Instagram, the next thing you need to do is wait for their response.

Instagram will respond to you in 24 to 48 hours.

Do not forget to check your junk and spam folder for the email as it might be gone there.

You will get instructions via email on how to recover your Instagram account.

To recover your account, you need to follow those instructions.

In the email, you will receive a link to reset your Instagram password.

In order to reset your Instagram password, you need to click that link.

That is it, you’ve successfully learned how to recover your Instagram account without email or phone number!

Final Words

After recovering your IG account, you need to make some changes to your account in order to make it safe.

First of all, you need to turn on two-factor authentication.

Two-factor authentication will help you to add additional level of security to your account.

After turning it on, whenever someone tries to sign into your account from a new device, a login code will be sent to your number.

To turn on two-factor authentication, you need to go to your profile.

After that, follow these steps: tap on Settings > Security > Two-factor authentication > Get Started”.3

You can also keep your account secure if you try to avoid clicking on shady links.

Some of the links will send you to a fake Instagram page to login.

If you will enter your login details there, the hacker will be able to get your information and access your account.
