How to Change Your Instagram Password

Open Settings and activity, tap Accounts Center, choose Password and security, then Change password. Select Instagram, enter the current and new passwords, and confirm.

A couple of useful details
What if I forgot my current password?
The Change password form includes Forgot your password? for account recovery.
How long must the password be?
The current form requires at least six characters and recommends numbers, letters, and special characters. A longer unique password is safer.
Should I log out other devices?
Use that option if someone else may have accessed the account, then review Where you’re logged in under Password and security.
