Why is Instagram warning me that my account is at risk?

If Instagram's algorithms notice that your Instagram account password is not secure or can be compromised, it will ask you to change it so that other people cannot access your account.

Important - Instagram does not keep a copy of your password.

If you use the same password for Instagram and another site or app, attackers could learn it through a data leak on a third-party platform.

This can also happen if you synced your Instagram account with an unauthorized third-party app (such as unsubscribed tracking apps). Once you update your password, you will be logged out of Instagram on other devices.

This will cause the person who is similarly logged in to lose access to it.

Rules for creating a password for your Instagram account:

Create a password that is easy to remember but hard to guess.

The password should not match your email address, phone number, date of birth, or other information that is easy to guess.

Your Instagram password should be different from your other passwords, such as for your email or bank account.

The longer your password is, the more secure it is. Your password should be at least six characters long, and preferably at least eight.

Use a combination of numbers, letters and special characters (e.g. !$@%). Avoid repetition.
