How to Recover Instagram’s Two-Factor Authentication Code

Instagram’s two-factor authentication (2FA) feature adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a verification code in addition to your password when logging in. However, there may be situations where you misplace or lose access to your 2FA code, causing inconvenience and potential security risks. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to recover your Instagram 2FA code and regain access to your account.

1. Start by opening the Instagram app on your phone and tapping on the “Forgot password?” link below the login screen.
2. On the next page, enter the email address or phone number associated with your Instagram account and tap on the “Next” button.
3. Instagram will then send you an email with instructions on how to reset your password. Open the email and click on the provided link, which will redirect you to a password reset page.
4. On the password reset page, enter a new strong password for your Instagram account, ensuring it is unique and not used elsewhere. Then tap on the “Reset Password” button.
5. Now, log in to your Instagram account using your new password. However, since you lost access to your 2FA code, you may encounter an error message indicating that your login attempt requires further verification.
6. Tap on the “Need more help?” option below the error message. You will be directed to a page where you can report a login issue to Instagram.
7. On the report issue page, select the appropriate problem category, which in this case will be “Hacked or compromised accounts.”
8. Next, provide the requested information such as your username, email address or phone number associated with the account, and a description of the issue. Be clear and concise in explaining your situation and mention that you have lost access to your 2FA code.
9. Once you have filled out the necessary information, tap on the “Send” or “Submit” button to send your report to Instagram’s support team.
10. Instagram’s support team will review your report and get back to you via email with further instructions on how to recover your account. They may request additional verification to confirm your identity, so be prepared to provide any necessary documents or information.
11. Follow the instructions provided by Instagram’s support team to complete the account recovery process. They may ask you to provide proof of ownership, such as photos or previous posts from your account, so make sure you have access to any relevant information.
12. Once Instagram’s support team verifies your identity, they will assist you in removing the 2FA security settings on your account.
13. After the 2FA settings are removed, you can set up a new 2FA code to secure your account once again. Make sure to choose a reliable method of receiving the verification code, whether it be through SMS or a third-party authentication app. Remember to store the backup codes provided by Instagram in case you lose access to your verification method again.

Losing access to your Instagram 2FA code can be stressful, but by following these steps and cooperating with Instagram’s support team, you can recover your account and reinstate a strong security measure. Always remember to keep your login credentials and verification methods secure to prevent unauthorized access to your Instagram account.
