For reasons I won’t get into, it’s been ages since I logged into the Instagram account associated with this blog. When I tried to do so today (for reasons I won’t get into), I got stuck in an endless loop of automated BS. All because Instagram’s 2FA messages don’t, for whatever reason, go through to my phone, and it doesn’t believe my backup codes. Yes, I have tried all the obvious solutions.
Does anyone out there know how to get a human at Instagram to review a case?
Their solution is to upload a selfie video to confirm identity, so (presumably) their facial matching software can match the video to images of yourself in your profile. Which would be fine, if (A) I took photos of myself, which I don’t, or (B), I were a plant or a bug, which I do take photos of, since it’s an account about gardening. But I’m not a plant nor a bug. So that’s useless.
Thoughts are welcome. Prayers…I mean, I guess I’ll take anything?
