Question

How do I get a security code if I did not receive it?

Community Answer

It might take a few minutes. If it's been a while, there should be an option to "Resend Security Code." If it still doesn't work, switch the option from phone to email, or email to phone.

Question

My Instagram was hacked and the username, password, and email were all changed. How do I get it back? I've followed all of Instagram's instructions and they're useless.

Community Answer

You can't access that page without the email or password, so you'll have to create a new account.

Question

How do I check my password?

Community Answer

Unless you saved your login credentials to your browser, there isn't a way to see your password unless you type it in yourself. To confirm or change your password, go to your profile, then either click the black gear icon (Settings), and then "Settings and privacy", or just click "Edit profile". Both ways will take you to the user settings page. Click on the big button that says Meta/Accounts Center and then "Password and security", and your password settings will be there.
