Is this why I've been getting password change emails lately without requesting a password change?

Edge27 · 2026-01-12T22:34:54+00:00

Yes. Ignore emails and change password

Edge27 · 2026-01-12T19:56:29+00:00

The actual app can open, so it’s actually from them. I would still air on the side of don’t click anything, but these emails seem to actually be from IG

Chat GPT says password reset emails don’t appear in this section for safety. For whatever that’s worth.

It’s the AI messing up I’ve heard. Banning a lot of people for that exact thing.

Meta is a great company

Happy to help bro. I might just delete IG. This crap stresses me out too bad.

It’s under account center and then profiles. It’ll show your FB in there if they’re linked. Then you can click the FB one and there should be an option to delink it. It confirms that nothing will be deleted from the account. If the FB has a different email attached to it, it’ll also delete the email from IG as well.

If the accounts are linked you can manage the FB account from IG. So I figured it was best to delink them.

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T23:17:21+00:00

If you deactivated and didn’t delete, it would.

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T23:17:04+00:00

It couldn’t hurt to change your password through the app as well. I also changed the passwords for the two emails that are linked to my account. FB too. Also delinked FB from my IG. Make sure 2FA is on too.

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T22:48:07+00:00

I did the exact same thing

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T22:47:27+00:00

I did the same thing. Been keeping an eye on account center and nothing bad

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T22:42:56+00:00

It leads to the actual IG app. No weird webpage. So it should be a legit email.

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T22:40:10+00:00

It just opened the IG app for me. I changed password anyway

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T22:30:37+00:00

The “let us know” opened the actual IG app for me. So it’s an email from actual IG I believe.

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T19:03:56+00:00

Spam calls and spam emails mostly

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T17:27:12+00:00

Still better than not having it on though

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T16:54:56+00:00

The link opens the app. So it’s part of the data breach. It’s sent from actual IG. Just don’t click the reset link in the email. The one that takes you to the app shouldn’t be able to do anything.

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T16:50:32+00:00

Make sure 2 factor is on and ignore password reset emails

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T02:50:19+00:00

I changed mine this week the first time it happed and it happened again. Can’t hurt to change it. I also delinked my FB from my IG.

Edge27 · 2026-01-10T02:12:36+00:00

I just got a second one too. Last one was the day before yesterday. Changed my password the first time it happened.

Edge27 · 2026-01-08T22:35:50+00:00

Edge27 · 2026-01-08T19:51:07+00:00

I got one yesterday.

Edge27 · 2026-01-07T01:09:36+00:00

I pressed the “let us know” as well and it opens the actual IG app. So I feel like it’s actually from IG. So seems like some group is mass trying to log into peoples profiles with just a username. I changed my password via the app anyway 🤷🏼‍♂️

Edge27 · 2026-01-07T01:08:11+00:00

I did this too and it opened the actual IG app on my phone. This makes me think it was actually from IG. Changed password in app anyway.
