How to See Instagram Password While Logged In [Working]

This guide will show you how to see your Instagram passwords while logged in on both iPhone and Android. Around a decade ago, people used to remember all their relatives’ phone numbers and their bank account passwords. In the past, people memorized these numbers, but as technology advanced and people could store them, they stopped doing so. The same thing happened with passwords as well.

Every day, new social media platforms go viral, so people have to remember more and more passwords. Seeing this, Google released Passwords, a new password management feature. The next time you reinstall an app on your smartphone, all you have to do is click on the “Autofill” button from Google.

Today, we’ll discuss how you can see your Instagram password while logged in. Both smartphones and laptops/computers can be used for this process. To avoid any confusion, we’ll go through both. Finally, we’ll show you how to change your Instagram password on your smartphone.

Can You See Instagram Password on App Itself?

It’s not possible. Instagram has a very reasonable explanation for hiding your password while you’re logged in.

While logged in, the first place you’d think to check would be the Instagram mobile app or web version, wouldn’t you? You could also find your smartphone there if it was stolen or if one of your friends borrowed it. The app doesn’t display your Instagram password for security reasons.

If Instagram’s mobile app and web version won’t show you your password, is changing it your only choice?

Your passwords will be saved in your Google Account if you have saved all of them there. Using both your smartphone and laptop/computer, you can easily recover your password from your Google data.

Let us show you how to access your Instagram password from your Google account at the end of this blog.
