Step 2 of 2

Secure Instagram Login

We use these details once to connect your account and run the agreed activity. Your login is handled securely, never shared, and never stored.

🔒

Instagram Username

Instagram Password

We use this only to log in and connect your account. You can change your password any time after setup to remove access.

Backup Code (8 Numbers)

A single backup code is enough for us to complete the initial login if 2FA is required.

How do I get a backup code?

Step 1: Open Instagram Settings

Open the Instagram app on your phone.
Go to your profile page (tap your profile picture at the bottom right).
Tap the three lines (☰) at the top-right corner to open the main menu.

From your profile, tap the menu icon in the top-right corner.

Step 2 & 3: Go to Security Settings & Select Your Account

Tap "Accounts Center."
Select "Password and security."
Tap "Two-factor authentication."
If you manage multiple accounts, select the Instagram account you want the backup codes for.

Step 4: Access Backup Codes

Under your two-factor authentication methods, tap "Additional methods."
Then tap "Backup codes."
You'll see a list of 8-digit codes — you only need one.
Copy any one code and paste it into the Backup Code field on the form.
Note: If you can't see "Backup codes," that's normal — go to Step 5 below.

Step 5: Access Backup Codes if They Aren't Showing

If you don't see "Backup codes" as an option:

Go back to the Two-factor authentication step.
Select SMS or WhatsApp and follow the prompts to verify your phone number.
Once verification is complete, go back one step. You should now see "Additional methods."
Tap "Additional methods" then "Backup codes" — your codes will appear there.
