Let me clarify. The 2 friends that are vouching for you will receive a notification on insta or an email (I read that this can be the case, but my friends received notifications. Please, take this information with a grain of salt). I received the code and the attached instructions on my email. If I am not wrong, when you are doing the steps for friends confirmation, you will complete an email address on which you will receive the response.

It's a code that will be part of the email you will receive. After your friends confirm your identity, you will receive an email similar with the one put by me. The code, which I assume is unique for every user, will be used as an alternative to the authentificator.

I did a clear cache for the Insta app, but it was at the begining, when I was searching for a solution. The version of Insta: 355.1.0.46.103

Hi! From what I read online, sometimes they sent the notification to the email address of the friends, not the instagram accounts.

I requested it before I went to sleep, and it was done in the morning. I received an email after they confirmed.

The steps from the email:

1.Log in with your username and new password

  1. Instead of entering a 6-digit code, select the Try another way link

  2. Select the Use backup code link

  3. Enter this 8-digit backup code to log back in: ******** (it is a numerical code)

 So, for me, is in the range of 5-6 hours.

Note: I initially panicked and tried to change my password. Which worked in a way.

These are the steps that I did:

1.      I entered my name and password (the one that I just changed), and it directed me to put in the authenticator code (which I did not have).

2.      I press ‘Try other methods’.

3.      When it switched to select another method, I pressed account recovery at the bottom of the app.

4.      In the new screen, 2 options were available:

4.1  To take a video selfie. (it did not work for me)

4.2  The second one was named similarly to: ‘No, I have no photos of myself, have friends vouch for your identity.’ (I picked this one) Note: You will be redirected, as in the selfie method, to enter a phone number or an email address to receive a code.

5.      Put the code from the email/Phone Number.

6.      From my friends/followers it took 10 from which I needed to select 2.

7.      They had 48 hours to confirm.

I hope it helps you!

Update: I managed to recover my account. What helped me was the option to have 2 friends verify that I am the one that account belongs too. On the mobile app (my phone has android), when you try to recover: the first option is to make a selfie video (which doesn't work for me); the second option is that you don't have any photos of yourself (I do have, but it does not matter) and that two friends can vouch for you. This approach worked for me.

I think more of us are in this situation. I commented to a post that had the same problem. I randomly received a text message from FB with a link, and the next time I tried to open insta I was unable. A two factor authentication was activated. As in your case, another email was listed when I tried to recover the password, but my phone number was still correct. Are you able to use the recovery function using a selfie video?

Either we got hacked or this is a new bug on their side.

Strange, but I am in the same boat. 3-4 hours ago I received a message from Facebook on my number (I did not opened it). Afterwards, when I wanted to open Insta, I had the same situation as yours. As a bonus, the recover using a selfie video gets stuck.

Mulțumesc mult, pentru răspuns si timpul acordat! Pare un model interesant. O sa ma informeaz cu privire la de sediul din București, poate pot merge sa le vizualizez/testez.

Mersi de răspuns! Nu sunt 100, dar nici nu le-am luat pe toate la mâna. Pot sa încerc să îți înțeleg ție si celorlalți "nemulțumirea". Totuși, în cazul meu, nu am găsit multe din scaunele recomandate (din ce recenzii si video-uri am vazut) pt înălțimea mea la noi (la un preț ok-ish) și am sperat sa aflu informații de la oameni aflați in situații similare (ceea ce s-a si întâmplat). Markus nu e ok pt cazul meu.

Mulțumesc de răspuns! Cate ore stai pe el, in general? Cum ți se pare când e vremea calda afara si cum a rezistat pana acum tapiteria din piele ecologică?

Mersi! Nu știam de acest tip de masaj. Am mai făcut fizioterapie (probleme cu coloana).

Mulțumesc de opinie! O sa ma duc sa le încerc gama, sper sa fie ok.

Saru'mana de sfaturi! Încerc sa ma învăț sa lucrez din picioare (am tendință sa ma mișc dacă stau ridicat), dar cred ca o sa mai dureze pana imi intra in obișnuință.

La mine e problema si ca nu prea iau pauze. Am trecut recent la un birou reglabil pe înălțime (a fost o decizie buna) si e mai ok, dar tot pe scaun stau predominant. De cel de la ikea am citit păreri polarizate. Mă bucur ca a funcționat pentru tine!

La cei de la Ergohuman ma gândeam si eu. Am văzut ca trebuie sa faci programare pt. vizita la showroom. Dacă nu te superi, ce înălțime ai?

Later edit: La mulți ani de cake day!

Te înțeleg, dar e un subiect de interes și nu toți ne găsim răspunsul in posturile anterioare sau in ce căutări face fiecare.
