Here is a step-by-step guide to setup Two Factor Authentication (2FA) on Instagram using the recommended method: the Authentication App.
Phase 1: Download an Authenticator App
Before starting, you need a dedicated app to generate the one-time codes.
Recommended Apps: Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy.
Action: Download and install one of these apps on your smartphone.
Phase 2: Enable 2FA in the Instagram App
The settings for Instagram 2FA are managed within the Meta Accounts Center.
Open Instagram: Launch the Instagram app on your phone.
Go to Profile: Tap your Profile Picture in the bottom-right corner.

Navigate to Security: Tap Settings and privacy \rightarrow Accounts Center.
Select Security Options: Tap Password and security \rightarrow Two-factor authentication.
Choose Your Account: Select the Instagram account you want to secure.
Select Method (Recommended): Under "Choose Your Security Method," select Authentication app (Recommended).

Phase 3: Connect Instagram to the Authenticator App
Open Your Authenticator App: Switch to the authenticator app you installed in Phase 1 (e.g., Google Authenticator).
Add a New Account: Tap the + icon or Add Account.
Select Manual Entry: Choose the option to Enter a setup key or Manual Entry.
Account Name: Type in a name like "Instagram" or your Instagram username.
Key: Paste the key you copied from the Instagram app.

Generate Code: The app will now show a 6-digit code that refreshes every 30 seconds. Copy this code.
Phase 4: Complete the Setup
Switch back to Instagram.
Enter the Code: The Instagram screen will ask for a verification code. Paste the 6-digit code you just copied from the authenticator app, and tap Next.
Confirmation: You should see a message that says "Two-factor authentication is now ON."
Phase 5: Save Your Backup Codes (CRITICAL)
Once 2FA is active, Instagram will show you a list of Recovery/Backup Codes. You must save these!
What they are: These codes are one-time-use keys that let you log in if you lose your phone or access to your authenticator app.
How to Save:
Tap Get New Codes (if prompted).
Take a screenshot and store it somewhere safe (like a password manager or a secure cloud drive).
Write them down and keep the paper copy in a safe place (like a wallet or safe).
Do not store the backup codes on the same device you use the authenticator app on.
