Instagram Adds New Measures to Help Users Regain Access to Locked Accounts,
Instagram has added some new tools to help users regain access to their accounts if they find themselves locked out, while it’s also added some new measures to combat impersonation – which feel like a pointed jab at Elon Musk’s ‘Twitter 2.0’ approach.
First off, on re-gaining access to hacked accounts – to help people get back into their profiles, Instagram has set up a new recovery center which will guide you through the process of logging back into your profile.
As you can see in this sequence, now, if you find yourself locked out of IG, you can go to Instagram.com/hacked, which will then take you through the process to get your log-in info.
As explained by IG:
“If you’re unable to log in to your account, enter Instagram.com/hacked on your mobile phone or desktop browser. Next, you will be able to select if you think you’ve been hacked, forgot your password, lost access to two-factor authentication or if your account has been disabled. From there, you will be able to follow a series of steps to help regain access to your account.”
