Instagram says “Your email may not be secure” — how do I fix this?
Hey everyone,
I’m having an issue with my Instagram account. When I log in, Instagram shows this message:
>“Your email may not be secure”
“The email address associated with your account may be at risk. Add a different email now to secure your account.”
It’s asking me to update my email address.
The problem is that I’m not sure why Instagram is suddenly flagging my current email as potentially unsafe. I still have access to the email account, and I haven’t intentionally changed anything related to my Instagram security.
Has anyone else received this warning recently?
- What exactly triggers this warning?
- Is it safe to simply change the email?
- Could this mean my Instagram account or email has been compromised?
- Is there any way to verify what caused the warning before changing the email?
Screenshot attached.
Would really appreciate it if someone who has dealt with this could explain what’s happening and what the safest next step is.
Thanks!
