I had the same problem a number of months ago with an instagram account of mine. I left it alone for a few months and then when I came back I was able to get the 2fa code and login.
Once I logged in I realized that instagram was just a portal designed to addict and sell you products fresh out of a chinese sweatshop.
I promptly deleted it once I figured out it has similar characteristics of spyware. The app requires so much personal information from you its like signing up for a bank account.

It would be cool to showoff coins to a wider audience and get people into the hobby that otherwise did not know about it but the general instagram user is a shell of a human.
Crowdsourcing your personal self esteem and opinions to the masses in exchange for likes and dopamine whilst sacrificing your privacy to a corporation.
To each their own, but in my opinion these coins are too exquisite and will become so rare and valuable down the line it's best to not make yourself a target by advertising to strangers on instagram.
Perhaps losing 2fa is a sign for the best.

I don't use instagram to buy anything nor do I follow any social media influencers or dumbasses of that ilk. Instagram is the only social media I use and it's a way to follow friends, sports teams, and find collectibles. There are quite a few collectors here whom have instagram accounts for the sole purpose of educating others about our hobby, and buying/selling stuff. Instagram has become a MASSIVE marketplace and has become a go to for coin buyers/sellers. My PhysicalCryptocurrency account is not meant to show off what I have/own, but to show off the hobby to anyone who's interested. I post everything, most items of which I do not own. I had a lot of traditional coin collectors following me whom I was able to introduce the hobby to, some whom subsequently signed up here or bought products from users here. I simply educated others or brokered deals for sellers/makers here. This is the type of thing we have to do as a community to get the word out about this hobby..so in fact it's actually a huge part of growing our hobby and the way we will get these to auction houses (already starting) and to museums one day.
