Instagram Will Let Friends ID You After Losing Access To Your Account

Instagram is testing the ability for users to choose two friends to send a notification to. These friends can then help to verify the user's identity.

Instagram is testing a new feature that allows users to get back access to their accounts with some help from fellow Instagram friends. Hacked accounts are a fairly common problem, with bad actors even doing it for a fee. In addition, there is no dearth of scams asking users to click on a malicious link in order to verify their account security, only to lure unsuspecting users into sharing their credentials instead.

The suspicious text messages usually start with lines like “Tap to get back into your Instagram account” followed by a link.

Users will still be required to submit the last password they remember. However, they will then also be able to nominate two accounts to help with verification.
