Instagram will launch a notification regarding "Confirmation of Security" and start on July 13 (US time) to encourage users to confirm the tools and settings for securing accounts.It will be displayed to all users within the next few months.

Started with users who may have had an unauthorized access to the account, such as users who have recently changed personal information and passwords.

Confirmation of security can confirm that the user uses the correct tool to protect the account, and keeps the Instagram account safely.

In addition, we introduce that users can use Instagram safely, except for security confirmation.We recommend four things: "Enable two -stage authentication", "Enable login request", "update phone number and email address", "report suspicious content and account".。

For two -step authentication, it can be effective using a mobile phone number, a Duo Mobile, and Google Authentication.In a specific country, you will be able to protect your account using WhatsApp in the next few weeks.

If you set a two -step authentication, an alert will be displayed if you try to log in from a device or a web browser to an account that is unknowing.By enabling the login request, you can immediately approve or reject the request from the already logged -in device.

You can check the list of the latest devices you have logged in from settings> security> login activities.If you don't know the latest login, you can log out from the location or device and let them know that the login is not you.

It is recommended to update the latest phone number and e -mail address.This makes it possible to contact users from Instagram when something is in the user's account, and that these steps can recover the account even if the user information is changed by the hacker.

If Instagram contacts user accounts, it will be performed via the settings> notification> Instagram mail tab.It is recommended that Instagram does not send a message using a direct function, and if such a message is, it is recommended that you report the contents and block the account.

The report introduces the method of tapping the three points above the content and account posts that you want to investigate, pressing and holding a message, accessing the account and reporting directly from your profile.。
