Instagram account blocked authentication codes/lost recovery

Hello,

I can't log into my Instagram account because I don't have my two-factor authentication codes, and I can't recover them since I no longer have access to my account. Also, using an authentication app doesn't work either because I need to retrieve the key from the app as well.

I don't know how to proceed since I can't recover anything because I no longer have access to my account.

Thank you for your prompt responses.

Sincerely

Hello.

Without access to your identification codes, you won't be able to do anything.

I know, but isn't there another way or something?

I sent an email to Instagram support just now, but no response.

If you don't have the credentials to access your account, you can't do anything. You need to deal with Instagram, but generally, they don't respond or the response takes a very long time to arrive.

I have my credentials, that's not the issue; it's just the authentication and/or backup codes that I no longer have.

Read the page I mentioned in my previous message, there is a link to a form.

There are thousands of cases like yours on the forum; if you consult them, you will realize that the solution can only come from Instagram itself, it is the only one that can act on the accounts.

The link you sent me is for disabled accounts, but mine is not disabled; I just don't have my codes and when I fill out the form you told me about, it says I can't submit the form because the account is active.

As I already told you, without the codes you won't be able to do anything unless you find the account that you use to retrieve these codes; without that, it will be impossible to recover anything.

How do we find the account to recover the codes?

You need to recover the contact email account you provided in your Instagram profile; it's to this email account that your codes are sent.

How can I contact Instagram because I contacted them at the following email address: ***@*** but every time I receive this message immediately:

Hi, You've reached us at a channel that we no longer support. Please visit the Help Center to find answers to many frequently asked questions and up-to-date forms you can use to contact us:

We apologize for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,

What are the quickest contact methods please?

Since you no longer have access to traditional recovery methods, I think recovering your account is going to be very, very, very complicated, if not more likely impossible. As for contacting Instagram, for regular users, there is no way other than the online forms, see Radinoz's response below.

Hello

No need to create duplicates...

Instagram does not have an email contact address... You need to use the online forms found in the FAQ...

Follow this:

  1. Open the Instagram app. At the bottom of the screen, tap on Forgot password?.
  2. Enter your username and tap Next.
  3. At the bottom of the screen, tap on Can't reset your password?
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to send a help request.
