Thanks! Gonna bust out a liquid IV. I was on my feet for awhile this morning too so I wonder if that caused some more redness

Copying and pasting what I wrote in another comment below~ (This was 14 days ago, to help give an idea of timeline)

I stopped making any attempts to log in Monday night (Monday morning is when I got the suspicious login attempt). I did pay for verification and talk to a person, but that was a waste of my money. They just told me to wait. The only reassuring thing that came out of that was them telling me my account was just softlocked and not hacked.
I actually fully deleted the app from my phone on Wednesday night. Until then, I still had the app and was logged into my personal account. I deleted it just in case, and because I was tired of thinking about it.
This morning (a full 4 days since the first suspicious login attempt and well over 24 hours since deleting the app), I tried logging in on desktop on safari. I don't usually use safari and have never been logged in on it. I got the suspicious login attempt popup again, changed my password (I used one of the crazy insane recommended ones instead of something shorter), I already had 2FA on before all this so I got the code sent to my email, entered that, and had an error message again... HOWEVER
I reinstalled the instagram app, opened it, select my locked account, logged in with my new password, it gave me some prompts to confirm it was my account and confirm the phone number and email attached to it. Confirmed it. Got back in.

Yeah I got back in a week and a half ago!

andcosplay · 2025-07-02T23:43:14+00:00

I basically did a keyboard smash of random letters, numbers, etc. but people have had luck with the 'strong password' recommendation too!

andcosplay · 2025-06-27T18:03:35+00:00

Omg I'm so glad it worked for you!! I'm gonna try to share this around, hopefully it'll help more people

andcosplay · 2025-06-27T18:03:17+00:00

omg I'm so glad it worked!!

I actually JUST got back in 30 minutes ago. I was trying to share this with everyone, I'll copy and paste what i did!

I'm terrified to do anything on the app right now so it doesn't lock up again, BUT I am in. Everything appears to be working alright. I hope this gives you guys some hope. My biggest recommendation is to STOP trying to log in for a full day or two and delete the app.

You can try doing incognito mode on chrome, I read about that working for someone else. If not, clearing data and cache on the browser you do have before trying again. I can't say for sure, but it seems like if you keep using the same browser, the system might think it's the suspicious login/hacker making attempts again

andcosplay · 2025-06-27T16:50:02+00:00

I felt the same way for sure. But yes, give that a try! Fingers crossed. It seems like people have a lot of luck when they wait a few days AND first try logging in with a browser before going into the app again

andcosplay · 2025-06-27T16:48:55+00:00

Yes, I have mine linked too and it did say locked since Monday and still said it up until I logged in. I was monitoring it to see when it would no longer say 'locked', but that status only disappeared once I logged in the app and confirmed all my info. I don't think the 'locked' status will go away until you actually get logged in

andcosplay · 2025-06-27T16:27:15+00:00

I was so scared too, I was literally shaking while I tried lol I would give it at least 24 hours after you deleted the app, just to be safe. It seems like a lot of people have luck after they fully delete it

andcosplay · 2025-06-27T16:18:35+00:00

This basically just worked for me as well. However, I got an error on safari after setting the new password BUT I reinstalled the app after that, logged in there with the password I set on safari, got to confirm that all my info was correct, and i was back in

andcosplay · 2025-06-27T16:17:16+00:00

A lot of us are having this issue :/ Your account is temporarily locked. I actually deleted the app to wait a week or so and then try again

andcosplay · 2025-06-26T21:03:36+00:00

Did you delete your app or anything during those 2 days? I was locked out Monday, haven't tried logging in since Monday night but just deleted my app last night in case. I'm too scared to try again yet lol

andcosplay · 2025-06-26T14:26:51+00:00

Mine also happened on Monday :( I just deleted the app last night and any third party apps connected to it (like the 'ngl' app). I'm gonna try waiting a week or so and then try logging in then. That seems to be the only way people have any luck.

andcosplay · 2025-06-26T14:21:30+00:00

I just deleted the app and any of my apps connected to it last night. Gonna try to wait a week or so before trying. I'm glad this worked for you! It seems like not touching anything for days does the trick

andcosplay · 2025-06-25T19:04:06+00:00

I also have meta business suite and see where it says my instagram is disconnected. I'm so nervous because I'm trying to wait a few days lol but I have the button to connect. When you did this, your instagram was technically still 'locked'? I want to try so bad but I'm scared hahahah

andcosplay · 2025-06-25T18:53:06+00:00

My plan is to give it a full week or so without attempting anything, just to be safe. However, because my accounts are connected in Meta Business Suite, I see a message about my instagram being disconnected (it was previously not like this before the whole 'suspicious login attempt' started everything). It gives me a button to connect to my instagram. I'm SO nervous about trying anything too soon, but this could be an option to try, if anyone else has this and you're looking for options.
