One useful technique to keep an eye on account security and make sure there are no unauthorised logins is to check your Instagram login activity. Details about every recent login session, including the device type, location, and time of access, are available through Instagram’s “Login Activity” feature. Here are some pointers for maintaining the security of your Instagram account as well as instructions on how to see and analyse your login behaviour.
[1] Viewing Activity Login
First, launch the Instagram app and go to your profile to see your login activity. Take these actions:
Tap the profile icon in the lower right corner to see your profile page.
Choose Settings and Privacy from the menu that appears by tapping the three horizontal lines (hamburger icon) in the upper right corner.
Tap on Login Activity after navigating to the How You Use Instagram section.
A list of all recent login sessions arranged by date and location will be displayed on this page. The location, the device being used, and the estimated time of login are all included in each record. You may use this information to identify any odd activities, such as logins from strange devices or unexpected places.
[2] Examining the login sites
You can identify instances of unauthorised access to your account by using Instagram’s Login Activity function. Examine the list, paying close attention to each place and gadget. Your account is probably safe if you are familiar with all the devices and places. It may be a sign that someone else has entered your account, though if you see any strange places or gadgets.
[3] Protecting Your Account
You can take the following actions to protect your Instagram account if you see any questionable login activity:
Log Out of Other Devices: Click the three dots next to any unfamiliar login in the Login Activity column, then choose Log Out. This efficiently ends any unauthorised connection to your account by instantly removing access for that session.
Change Your Password: Go back to Settings and Privacy > Account Centre > Password and security after logging out of any suspicious devices, then choose Change Password. Select a secure, one-of-a-kind password to stop unwanted access.
Activate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This additional security measure makes it more difficult for unauthorised people to get access to your account. Select your desired authentication method (text message or app-based) after selecting Password and security > two-factor authentication.
[4] Consistently Check Account Activity
Develop the practice of routinely reviewing your login activity for extra security. You can swiftly identify any unusual activity and take action before any possible security concerns worsen by keeping a watch on account logins.
Conclusion: Checking your own login activity on Instagram is very essential for keeping your account secure. By regularly reviewing your login locations and devices, you can identify any unauthorised access and take appropriate action. Combined with strong passwords and two-factor authentication, monitoring your login activity helps protect your account and personal information on Instagram.
