Since always, the hacking of Instagram accounts has been a reality. Since the social network has become one of the most used by everyone, and especially by celebrities, it seems that foreign friends have become more interested in the subject.
Instagram has become the favorite place, for everyone, to share images, our day to day, funny videos and with the plus of Stories, to share live moments or produced in the last 24 hours. Celebrities, by their side, use it to give announcements, share their day to day, images of their vacations, etc.All this makes hackers want to take over any interesting account.
And we're telling you about it because it happened to us.
If you follow APPerlas on Instagram, a few days ago we posted a photo showing a suspicious startup attempt, made from Caracas (Venezuela). We only have 600 followers and we've already been tried to hack our IG account.

This is why we acted quickly and proceeded to make our account much more secure. We tell you how.
HOW TO PREVENT THEM FROM HACKING INSTAGRAM. ENABLE TWO-STEP AUTHENTICATION:
It goes without saying that if the hacker is good, he will be able to hack your profile at any cost, but by enabling 2-step authentication, we will make it much more difficult for him.We can say that if the "thief" comes across this option activated, he will surely stop trying to steal the Instagram account.
To make our profile almost impregnable, we must do the following:
- Access our account.
- Once in it we click on our profile. To do this, click on the image of our profile that appears on the left side of the bottom menu of the screen.
- In the menu that appears, press the gear wheel and look for the option “two-factor authentication”.
Two Step Authentication
- Press and activate "Request security code".
- Now we must wait to receive a code by message. It does this because our mobile number is linked to our profile.
Activation message
We introduce it. After this, they will send us a few recovery codes, which we must capture and keep safe.
Recovery Codes
Once the procedure is done, within the option "Two-step authentication", a new option will appear with which to obtain recovery codes. These codes are very useful if we lose access to our linked phone or if we cannot receive the text message with the security code.
New option enabled
The capture of these codes we have saved in iCloud and Dropbox.
HOW INSTAGRAM TWO-STEP AUTHENTICATION WORKS:
Now every time we access our Instagram account,we must enter our username and password and, in addition, a code that will be sent to us by message.
New login
The same will happen to those who want to hack Instagram. When they do not receive the code that they send us to our phone, they will not be able to access.
It's that easy to prevent a hacker from hacking your Instagram account.
