I’d try clearing all cookies. Or using a private browser window. Log into your email from the web browser, click the link, login into Instagram from the browser.
Could just be a browser glitch or a bad link being interpreted wrong going from email to IG app.
Try “Forgot Password” from the Instagram.com website and have your password reset. Perhaps that’ll count as proofing you own the account in a different way than the link you’ve been clicking on.
I had this problem when setting up brand new accounts with no automation on, and set up a thread but no on ever found a fix for it i’m afraid so i just lost the accounts.
This problem just hit me on one of my accounts now. I’m trying to login from phone and computer browser. I have access to the email and phone number where they keep sending the emails/SMS to reset password and then it goes back to the pop up “help us confirm you own this account”. I’ve tried clearing cookies/cache on mobile phone.
Wtf is this, I just got hit on 20 accounts with this, I know email I know password, and it’s asking me to confirm it over and over, did anyone fix this?
Ouch. Happening only on 1 of my accounts - a personal account. No fix yet for me. It’s been 2 days. Left it alone for a day and just tried again but it is still giving me the loop.
