Hi there,
Yes, you’re correct. If you’ve forgotten your Instagram password, the steps you outlined are exactly how you should recover it:
- First, open the Instagram App.
- Click on the “Forgot password?” option on the login screen.
- You will then be required to enter the email address, phone number, or username associated with the account, then click “Next”.
- If your Instagram account is linked to your Facebook account, you can opt to use Facebook to reset your password.
- You will then receive an email or SMS with a link to reset your password.
As always, to successfully go through the recovery process, you must still be able to access the email address or phone number you entered. Without access to either, you may not be able to recover your account. If you have further questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. I’m here to help!
