How to Login Instagram without a Recovery Code

The security issue of Instagram, if not more important than creating content for it, is not less important. One of the ways to increase the security of your Instagram account is to activate two-step authentication to enter Instagram.

By activating this feature, even if the main password of your Instagram account is leaked, hackers will still not be able to enter your Instagram account.

Because in order to log in to Instagram, in addition to the password, it is necessary to enter the confirmation code that Instagram provides you via SMS or identity verification applications.

But if for any reason, for example, mobile line disconnection, loss of access to identity verification applications, etc., our own access to verification codes sent by Instagram is lost, what can we do?

In this case, we have to use eight-digit codes called Recovery Codes or Instagram backup codes in Farsi.

Application of recovery code (Recovery code) Instagram

Instagram backup codes are 6 8-digit codes, which are provided to us after activating Instagram's two-step verification.

The main use of these codes is when we are unable to receive Instagram verification codes for any reason and we want to enter our Instagram account anyway.

In this case, by using the backup codes, we can easily log into our Instagram account without the need for verification codes sent by Instagram and, if necessary, disable the two-step verification feature or generate new backup codes for the next time. Entering Instagram, we did not get into trouble.

Where is the Instagram recovery code?

Instagram backup or backup codes are generated only when the two-step verification feature of your Instagram account is active, otherwise, not only will there be no backup codes, but you won't even need them.

But if the two-step authentication of Instagram is active in your account and you have not paid attention to these codes, to find them, first enter the Settings section from the profile section of your account.

Then, in the settings section, select the Security option or on Farsi Instagram, select the security option.

From the options, select Two-factor authentication.

If two-factor authentication is enabled, you should see Two-factor authentication is on.

In the lower part to see the backup codes, select the Additional method option. In the next step, to see the backup codes, click on the Backup codes option.

Now you can easily see your recovery codes.

And keep them in a safe place.

How to use the Instagram recovery code

Now that we are familiar with Instagram backup codes and how to see and know about them, the main question is when and how should these codes be used?

As we said at the beginning of this article, backup codes are used when, for some reason, we do not have access to the codes sent by Instagram in the second step of authentication (after entering the password) and we intend to enter the account in any way possible. Become our Instagram.

In the case that your Instagram two-step verification is active, after entering your Instagram ID and password, you will not immediately enter your account, but Instagram will ask you to enter the verification code sent by SMS or authentication applications. Enter your authority.

But since we don't have access to this 6-digit sending code, we have to use the support codes that Instagram has already provided us.

Therefore, instead of entering the code, we click on the try another way option.

In the new window that opens, click on the Use backup codes option so that we can enter our account through the backup codes.

In this case, instead of entering the 6-digit verification code that Instagram provided us with, but for whatever reason, we didn't get it or we didn't have access to it; We must enter the eight-digit backup codes so that Instagram can make sure that we really intend to log into our Instagram account and that this action is not from an unknown person or a hacker.

Do not forget that Instagram has already provided us with 6 backup codes and here it is enough to enter only one of these 6 8-digit codes.

After entering the code, click on the Confirm option to enter your Instagram account very easily.

Note: All backup codes are one-time use and will become invalid after use, and a new code will be generated instead of them, that's why Instagram provides us with 6 backup codes instead of one code to reduce possible problems.

How to change Instagram backup codes

If for any reason, the backup codes of your Instagram account are available to other people, these people can cause you trouble just by knowing these codes.

In this situation, the best solution is to change the previous backup codes and generate new codes, so that the previous recovery codes that have been exposed are invalid and no longer useful.

For this, we have to go through all the steps exactly as before when we were looking to find the backup codes until we reach the stage of displaying the backup codes.

At the bottom of code recovery, there is a blue option called Get new codes that we must select.

By doing this, the previous backup codes will be destroyed and 6 completely new codes will be generated.
