Hello,
So let me explain, I have a problem... I have several Instagram accounts and I had the bright idea of not writing down the passwords, so now I want to change them but I can't remember them.

    yes, um, when you log in, click on "forgot password" and enter your email, and you will just have to follow the instructions given to you...

    if worse comes to worst, try going through the website instead of the app
    https://www.instagram.com/accounts/password/reset/

      The thing is, I'm connected to it, it's a big account and I don't want to lose everything because I had to resort to this before but it didn't work, they said it wasn't compatible with I don't know what, so I don't want that to happen again and the problem is that if I lose my account I won't have the password to log back in.

      When you need to temporarily disconnect or change your password for security, what do you do? Well, you can’t. Instagram sometimes logs people out of their accounts (probably a bug, but it has happened to me several times on my personal account) and if I don’t have my password, I can’t, and thanks for the link.

      I don't have this problem, I'm connected 24/7 on Instagram, the app has never logged me out..

      To change your password for security, it's not necessary if you use a strong password from the start, with lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

      But try the link I gave you, you'll see if you can change the password, even while being logged into the app, you should be able to.

      You can be logged in, for example, on the Messenger app and change the password directly on the Facebook website, it works without any issues, personally I've done it before..

      Yes, some phones have strange behaviors with certain apps...
      It's Android, sometimes it kills the app without asking for your opinion (to save battery and 4G data).
