Instagram is making it easy to regain access to your account and is implementing new measures to prevent hacking.
Instagram is currently introducing new security tools. Among them there is a special center where users can report and solve problems with access to their account, if any. This should be very helpful for those who have had their account hacked and are having difficulty regaining access.
Instagram makes it easy to regain access to your account
If you are unable to log in to your account, you can go to the center on the Instagram website. Instagram will then ask you to explain your problem: hacked account, forgotten password, lost verification method for two-factor authentication, identity theft, or blocked account. Once the issue is listed, follow the instructions provided and you should be able to recover your account.
One way you can use to verify that an account is yours is to ask other users to verify your identity. If you find that you cannot access your account, you can ask two Instagram friends to verify your identity. A few months ago, Instagram started testing this feature, and now it’s available to everyone. Your friends will have 24 hours to respond to your request, and if they do, Instagram will let you reset your password.
and implements new measures to prevent piracy
At the same time, Instagram explains that it uses more measurements to avoid account hacking. The service removes accounts that the system considers malicious, such as those that impersonate another person. The new test includes sending you an alert “if an account we think is suspicious may be impersonating someone to track you.”In the coming months, Instagram will begin issuing these warnings to those who receive direct messages from an account that is a clone of a business account.
In addition, you will start seeing blue badges for verified accounts in more places on the platform. In addition to profiles, you will now see them in Stories and DMs. This badge will also appear in the News Feed soon. Instagram explains that this will help users know if the account they are interacting with or want to interact with is legitimate.
