I forgot my email associated with my Instagram account? - Bordercollies<3 - 04-07-2014 02:56 AM
When I log into my instagram it says to secure your account, change your password. So I go into the steps of changing my password but I have forgotten the email associated with my account as I have lots of accounts. What do I do?

Unfortunately, if you've forgotten your password and lost access to your email account, we're unable to release the Instagram account to you. This includes accounts registered with mistyped email addresses. We understand this can be frustrating, but this policy is meant to make sure Instagram accounts don't fall into the wrong hands. We hope that you are able to recall your password in the future so that you can log in and correct the email address.
I recommend using a password manager like Keepass or LastPass to create and store strong unique passwords for the sites you visit. You can also save notes like your secret questions and answers to the password entries. LastPass can automatically log you in to any web site you have stored in its database. This won't help you recover your Instagram account but perhaps if you document your current accounts you can prevent this from happening again.
