How To Secure An Instagram Verify the Trusted Email The trusted email is often the Original Email (OGE). However, if the email has been updated for a while, the trusted email may have changed. To check, log in to Instagram on a mobile device, log out, then click "Forgot Password." Enter the username, click “Need more help” or “Can’t reset password,” and you’ll see hints for the trusted email. Ensure you have access to all listed emails, as the creation email may not appear if it's no longer considered trusted. Remove Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Ask the previous account owner to disable 2FA before you log in. Secure the Linked Email Log into the email linked to the account and ensure it is fully secured. Update Email, Phone, Password & Enable 2FA This is crucial.
