Steps
Open Instagram on your iPhone or iPad. It’s the orange, purple, and pink camera icon that’s typically located on the home screen.

Tap the gear button. It’s near the top-right corner of the screen.
Scroll down and tap Two-factor Authentication.
Slide the “Require security code” switch to. A confirmation message will appear.
Tap Turn On. Instagram will now send a 6-digit confirmation code to you via SMS (text) message.
Type the confirmation code. You’ll have to open the text from Instagram to find it.
Tap Done. It’s at the top-right corner of the screen. Two-factor authentication is now enabled. Each time you sign in on an unfamiliar device, Instagram will text you another 6-digit code that you’ll need to enter to access your account.[1]Advertisement
