Explains the seemingly random PW reset request email I received the other day.
Use a hardware security token for 2FA and sleep easy at night.

Oh is that what it was 😄
There’s an account that I haven’t used in years, which gets a “Are you trying to log in?” email every few months.
I got 6 emails at once the other day, figured it was the same junk
I was wondering about that, because I got a several over the course of a few days. I finally limited it to prohibit any lost password requests from unknown devices just to get it to stfu. I don’t even use IG anymore, anyway.
I receive password resets from nearly every app and service at this point. 🙃
You should really start using an email proxy like simple login on anonaddy. I haven’t gotten a password reset email in years, and when I do I just change the email and password of the account, then burn that alias.
I’m not worried about password resets. They have my email but not my password. I use a password manager, and keep my email account locked up tight. As long as they can’t get in my email, they can’t change my password.
lol… it sucks to suck.
If you haven’t already, it’s always a good idea to turn on two-factor authentication and change your password. Even better, you can review what devices are logged into your Instagram account in Meta’s Accounts Center.
That is not the most obvious safety advice here engadget…
Oh no! Anyway…the DOGE data breach exposed a helluva lot more than that.
Interesting. I deleted my account fully about 2 years ago at this point. I wonder if they still had enough of my data around to be in the breach
