An Instagram spokesperson also confirmed the news with The Verge. … After you have verified your phone number, when you open the Instagram app and try to log in with your account name and password, you will also be sent a text message with the authentication code required to log into your account. Two-factor authentication is one of the best ways to protect your accounts , so it’s time for Instagram to finally add this feature. There is no official word yet on when you will receive the update, but the feature should be available to everyone soon.
