Photo and video sharing platform, Instagram announced that it will now help users to regain access to their hacked accounts
The platform said in a blog post on Thursday that it has created Instagram.com/hacked, a new destination for users where they can report and resolve account access issues
Users will need to visit Instagram.com/hacked on their mobile phone or desktop browser, if they are unable to log in to their account
They will be able to select if they think they have been hacked, forgot their password, lost access to two-factor authentication or if their account has been disabled
Then the platform will guide them through a series of steps to help regain access to their accounts
“We know losing access to your Instagram account can be stressful, so we want to ensure people have multiple options to get their accounts back if they lose access,” Instagram said
The company also provides the option to choose two of your Instagram friends to verify your identity and get back into your account
Additionally, Instagram is testing new ways to prevent hacking on the platform
