Stuck in Instagram login loop, any advice

Hi, I’m having an issue trying to log into my Instagram account and I was wondering if anyone here has experienced something similar.

Basically, when I try to sign in, I get stuck in a loop. I enter the code I receive and then it keeps asking me for additional steps, but nothing seems to work and I end up back at the same screen.

I’ve tried different times and waited between attempts, but the situation doesn’t change.

Reddit is not letting me post my full explanation due to keyword restrictions, but I can share all the details in the comments if needed.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Any advice would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing well. I’m posting here because I’m going through a really frustrating situation with my Instagram account and honestly I’m starting to feel pretty worried about it.

A few days ago my phone was stolen, but I’ve already replaced my SIM card and I now have access to the same phone number again, so everything on that side is working normally. The problem is that I don’t remember my Instagram password, so I’ve been trying to log in using the available options, but I just can’t get past the process.

Every time I try to log in using my username or my phone number, I usually end up getting sent back to the same screen without any progress. Sometimes I do receive a code through WhatsApp, and I enter it immediately, literally within seconds, but instead of letting me in, it just asks me for another step.

In some cases, it asks me to enter a code sent to an email, which belongs to my mom, and even when I type the code as soon as it arrives, it says that it’s incorrect. I’ve also tried the selfie and video verification multiple times, making sure my face is clearly visible, with good lighting and no obstructions at all, and it still gets rejected every single time.

I’ve tried waiting between attempts and not spamming the system, but no matter what I do, I just end up stuck in the same loop over and over again, and it’s honestly really discouraging.

At this point it feels like something might not be working properly, because the codes don’t seem to go through correctly, the verification keeps failing, and the whole process just sends me in circles. I’ve also seen some people mentioning recent issues or glitches, so I’m wondering if this could be related.

This account means a lot to me because it has personal photos, memories and conversations that I really care about, so the idea of not being able to access it is pretty stressful.

If anyone has gone through something similar or has any idea of what might be happening or how to fix it, I would truly appreciate any help or guidance. Even just sharing your experience would help a lot.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it<3.
