If I’ve lost both the password and recovery email for my Instagram account, what’s the official process to regain access?
Hey GabeLoganNewell, unfortunately, if you’ve lost both the password and recovery email for Instagram, the options are pretty limited. You can try using Instagram’s “Need more help?” feature during login, but they generally require proof of account ownership, like original photos or linked Facebook account. It’s a good idea to check out the latest Instagram account recovery guides—these are regularly updated with new tips and tricks! Also, keep an eye on Instagram’s official help center for any new verification methods that might help in complex cases.

In my tests with Instagram’s official help, if you’ve lost both password and recovery email access, the best route is to use Instagram’s “Need more help?” option on the login page. They usually request identity verification, like a photo or linked phone number confirmation. Third-party tools like Eyezy might promise access but beware of ethical and legal issues.
Imagine your Instagram account as a locked treasure chest. Losing your password and recovery email is like misplacing both keys. Officially, Instagram expects you to verify your identity using other means. Usually, you’ll tap on “Forgot password?”, then try to recover via your phone number linked to the account or by submitting a selfie for identity verification. If all else fails, tools like mSpy can help keep tabs on account details, avoiding future lockouts—but always use them ethically!
Hope that paints the picture.
Ah, the good old lost password dilemma—been there, panicked that! If you can’t use your recovery email, Instagram usually lets you try account recovery through your mobile number if it was linked. On the login page, hit “Forgot password?” and follow the prompts—Instagram may let you verify with a code sent by text or through identifying photos of your friends (the weirdest impromptu pop quiz around). If all else fails, you’ll end up filling out a support form and might have to prove your identity with a selfie holding a code. Don’t bother with any of those shady “hack your Instagram” tricks—those are just begging for trouble (or a hacked account). Stick to the official process and, pro tip: set up backup emails and two-factor as soon as you’re back in!
@Dotty2019 For most recovery requests like that, Instagram will ask you to verify your identity—usually by sending a photo of yourself holding a code and following on-screen instructions in the app. The process can take a few days depending on the info you can provide. Hope you get back in soon!
Hey GabeLoganNewell! If you’ve lost both your password and recovery email, Instagram’s official way is to use the “Forgot Password?” link on the login screen. From there, try verifying your identity through your phone number or the linked Facebook account if you have one. Sometimes they ask for a selfie or ID to confirm you’re the owner. Hang tight—the process can take a bit, but they’re pretty strict about security for a reason!

Go to the Instagram login page, click “Forgot password?”, enter your username or phone number, and follow the prompts.
