You can enable iCloud or Google Password Manager on iPhone/iPad, Go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Passwords & Keychain → Enable it. On Android, Go to Settings > Google > Autofill > Passwords → Toggle it on. Once enabled, passwords will be saved and synced across your devices.
If your password isn’t saved and you can’t remember it, the only solution is to reset it via Instagram “Forgot Password?” option on the login page. Instagram will guide you through verifying your identity.
While Instagram doesn’t allow in-app password viewing, there are still secure and accessible ways to retrieve your saved credentials without a full reset, if they were stored in your phone, browser, or password manager.
If not, always use a strong, memorable password going forward and secure it with a trusted password management tool. That way, you're never locked out again.
