Two-Factor Authentication
Having a two-factor authentication is necessary for anyone who wants to run
a business online, as it ensures that people cannot hack your account, steal
your followers, and block you from it. Getting your account stolen can also
create havoc on your brand image if the hacker’s intentions include just that.
Two-Factor authentication will require you to approve of all new logins,
either through your phone number or email address. This means that if
anyone attempts to log into your account remotely so that they can hack you,
they will not be able to get in without your code. You can enable two-factor
authentication by going back to your settings menu, tapping "Privacy and
Security," and then tapping "two-factor authentication." There, you will be
walked through the process of verifying either your phone number or an
email address that can be used to make your account more secure. If you do
ever receive a request to log in, but you have not attempted to log in on a new
browser, it is essential that you immediately change your password on
Instagram. If you have received the code, this is proof that someone has
identified what your password is and has successfully logged into your
account. Of course, they will be stuck in the login process since they do not
have your verification code to complete the two-factor authentication login,
but this still means that your account has been compromised. By changing
your password, you can ensure that no one can somehow hack into your
account and begin compromising your business through Instagram.
