Have you ever needed to log into Instagram on a new device but forgot your password? If you're wondering how to find my Instagram password on my phone, this guide will help you retrieve it without resetting it.

For security reasons, Instagram does not let you view their passwords directly in the app. However, if your password was saved on your device, you can find your Instagram password location on Android or your Instagram password location on iPhone using your password manager.

Below, we will walk you through accessing your saved Instagram password using Google Password Manager, iCloud Keychain, or browser autofill.

How to See Your Instagram Password on Android (Using Google Password Manager)

Android users can locate their saved Instagram password in Google Password Manager. Follow these steps:

  1. Open Settings on your Android device.
  2. Scroll down and tap Google > Manage your Google Account.
  3. Go to Security > Password Manager.
  4. Search for Instagram in the list.
  5. Tap instagram.com and authenticate using fingerprint or PIN.
  6. Tap the eye icon to reveal your password.

Troubleshooting

Is your Instagram password not showing? Ensure Google Autofill is enabled in Settings > Google > Autofill > Passwords.

How to Check Your Instagram Password on iPhone (Using iCloud Keychain)

If you are using an iPhone, the location of your saved Instagram password is stored in iCloud Keychain.

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Passwords and authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID.
  3. Search for Instagram.
  4. Tap instagram.com to view the password.

Troubleshooting

Can you not find your Instagram password? Ensure iCloud Keychain is enabled in Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Passwords & Keychain.

Didn’t save your password? You’ll need to reset it from the Instagram login screen.

How to View Your Saved Instagram Password in Chrome/Browser

If you saved your password in Chrome or another browser, follow these steps to retrieve it.

  1. Open Google Chrome.
  2. Click the three-dot menu > Settings.
  3. Select Autofill & Passwords > Google Password Manager.
  4. Search for Instagram.
  5. Click on instagram.com, authenticate, and tap the eye icon to view the password.

Troubleshooting

Ensure that Chrome's Autofill feature is enabled in Settings > Autofill > Passwords.

      Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

      • Why can I not see my Instagram password inside the app?

        Plus

        For security reasons, Instagram does not allow password retrieval within the app. The only way to access it is through a saved password in your device’s password manager or browser. If you don’t have it saved, you must reset it.

      • What if I use a different password manager like LastPass or 1Password?

        Plus

        No problem! Just open your password manager and search for "Instagram." Your saved credentials should be there. You may not have saved it in that manager if you don't see it.

      • Is it safe to save my Instagram password in my browser?

        Plus

        No. Browsers like Chrome save passwords but are less secure than dedicated password managers. If someone gains access to your browser, they can see your saved passwords. Consider using a password manager instead.

      • How do I enable iCloud Keychain/Google Password Manager?

        Plus

        On iPhone: Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Passwords & Keychain
        On Android: Settings > Google > Autofill > Passwords
        Once enabled, your device will automatically save and suggest passwords whenever you log into an app or website.

      • What if I have never saved my Instagram password?

        Plus

        If it is not saved anywhere, you will have to reset it. Go to the Instagram login page, tap "Forgot Password?" and follow the steps. Instagram will send you a password reset link via email or text so you can create a new one.

      • How do you recover an Instagram account with just the username?

        Plus

        Here’s how you can recover the Instagram password with the username:

        Open the Instagram app and choose Forgot Password?.
        Enter your username and select Next.
        At the bottom, select Can't reset your password?
        Submit a support request by following the on-screen directions.

      Securely Access Your Instagram Password!

      Instagram does not allow you to access your password for security reasons. 

      While you cannot access it directly in the app, you may check your device's password manager to see whether it's saved there or change your password if you lost it. 
      Remember to keep your password secure, so choose a strong, unique password and a trusted password manager to help you remember it.
