How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication on Your Instagram Account

Securing your Instagram account with two-factor authentication (2FA) is an essential step in preventing unauthorized access. Here’s how you can enable it:

1. Open Instagram and go to your profile. Tap on the three lines in the top right corner and select Settings.
2. Navigate to Security, and tap on Two-Factor Authentication.
3. Choose your preferred method:
   • Authentication App (e.g., Duo Mobile or Google Authenticator) for added security.
   • Text Message for a simpler option where a code is sent to your linked phone number.
4. Follow the prompts to complete the setup.

Once enabled, Instagram will require an additional verification step every time you log in from an unrecognized device
