In October 2018, the two-step verification that is effective for taking over Instagram is renewed and powered up! In addition to the existing two-step verification with the phone number (SMS), you can now use the new verification app. Even if the phone number changes, you can safely receive the security code with the app ♪
Instagram new feature article listThere is no end to the takeover of Instagram accounts. Hijackers try to get into our account if they like it, mainly for bad purposes such as fraud, solicitation, directing to other sites, stealing personal information.

Two-step verification can prevent such unauthorized login. If you turn on this two-step verification, even if a malicious third party tries to log in from somewhere with the correct password, you will not be able to log in unless you enter the security code. Instagram's security code is a mechanism that is sent by SMS to the user's mobile phone. In other words, the security code that only the true account owner can get is the second password ♪
What's more, if you use the authentication app that started in October 2018, you can deal with login troubles such as "I want to receive a security code, but my mobile phone number has changed and I haven't received an SMS ...!". I am relieved.
Let's start by turning on two-step verification!
(1) After opening the Instagram app, open "Settings" on the profile page.
(2) Tap "Two-step verification" from "Privacy settings and security" in the settings, and tap "Start".
This completes the setting to turn on two-step verification ♪
Next, I will explain how to use two two-step verifications.

(1) After opening the two-step verification setting page, turn on the "SMS" button.
If the mobile phone number is originally set, you can use it as it is, but if you set it for the first time, the mobile phone number input screen will be displayed.
(2) Enter your mobile phone number and you will receive a security code by SMS. Enter the 6-digit code and tap "Next" to complete the setting.
Security code is updated every time
(1) On the two-step verification settings page, turn on the "Authentication app" switch. If the authentication app is not installed on your smartphone, the recommended app will start to be installed.
Tap "Install App".
If you have already installed the authentication app, please go to (3).
(2) When the dialog "Do you want to allow Instagram to open the App Store?" Is displayed, tap "Open". When the authentication app Duo Mobile opens on the App Store, tap "Get" to install it.
* At this point, there is nothing to mess with with Duo Mobile.
Is this the recommended app?
(3) Return to the Instagram app. Turn on "Authentication App" on this screen again.
(4) Tap "Next" on the "Get Code from Duo Mobile" screen, and you're done! The security code will be displayed! You can copy the security code with just a long press.
This security code has an expiration date, which is a whopping 30 seconds. After that, new code will be generated and the old one will no longer be usable.
With such a one-time password, that is, a disposable password, even if someone knows it, there is no need to worry about it being used illegally. Compared to a fixed password, the risk of account hijacking is much lower ♪
By the way, it seems that it can be used with other services such as Duo Mobile, Twitter and Facebook, Amazon and Dropbox.

etc. As expected, Instagram and security codes from around the world also arrive from overseas, so depending on the carrier, you will not be able to receive them if "International SMS Rejection" is set. In particular, it seems that there are many patterns that you can not receive international SMS suddenly after changing the model with MNP, so it is safe to install the authentication application in case of an unexpected situation.
To protect your important account from the hands of demons for a comfortable Instagram life. By all means, we recommend that you turn on two-step verification ♪
Writer of this article TomokoThere are constant cases of SNS accounts being hijacked around me, but I want to be careful as my followers and friends may be damaged. The other day, I was about to inadvertently reply "It's cold" to "Is it warm now?" When I suddenly received a message from a Facebook friend who I rarely interact with, "Are you free now?" You may. It's just presbyopia, though (crying). As I learned later, this was also a takeover. It's about time for bifocals, my life.
