As we all can see how our life has changed from waiting for days to meet someone to talking with them over video calls now. Earlier, people had to remember each other’s phone numbers and passwords of all their email id accounts because of lack of technology. But now that we have these newly launched apps, people started saving each other’s phone numbers and any important account information in their mobile phones. People nowadays get so busy in their lives that they don’t have time to remember every phone number or password.

We have so many social media platforms these days because of which people started having trouble in remembering every password. Noticing this, Google introduced a feature called ‘Passwords’ which can save everyone’s password which can be accessed later on whenever they want. All you have to do is, just tap on the ‘Autofill’ option from Google every time you download any app and your passwords for that app will be stored there.

Suppose you log in your Instagram account on someone else’s phone and forgot to log it out. Now, you must be thinking of changing the password from your phone but you are not able to change it because you can’t remember your existing password. Are you wondering if you can see your Instagram password in the app itself while you are logged in? You can view your Facebook password while logged in but lets see if there’s any such trick for Instagram too. Well, to get the answer to this question, you will have to read the whole blog carefully.

Can You See Instagram Password In The App Itself?

A high security is offered by Instagram to its users and because of this, it doesn’t allow you to see password while you are logged in to your account. The reason behind this is very simple. Suppose, you gave your phone to a friend or your mobile phone got stolen. In such situations, that friend or the person who stole your phone could access your password by opening your Instagram.

So, Instagram doesn’t have any such feature which will let you see your password while logged in. However, you can reset it even without phone number or email address. But, you can’t view the current password of your Instagram account.

Therefore, you can store all your passwords on Google and you won’t have to reset it again and again. If you didn’t save your password on Google and can’t remember it at any cost, then in such cases, you can delete your Instagram account when you forget your password by the help of few tricks. Some of you might not be aware of how the Google Passwords work. So, follow the steps as explained below and you will get to know how to access your saved passwords on Google.
