The instagram security gate might be activated first time you login. If this happens, you will need to login to Instagram through your internet browser and approve the login attempt manually.
Sometimes it can happen that you can't link your Instagram account to your Bot. There are several reasons, including the age of the account, an association such as Spam of the server's IP address by Instagram, etc.. If this is the case, try to follow these steps:
- If you haven't already linked your Facebook profile to your Instagram profile, follow these steps to do so:
Instagram → Settings → Linked accounts → Facebook
- Reset Instagram account's password:
While accessing the Instagram application click on "Forgotten password" and get a link to set a new password.
After you have changed your password, try reconnecting your profile to the platform.
If it still doesn't work, go to "edit profile" and click on "temporarily disable my profile". Reactivate the account after 5-6 hours and then try linking the account to the Bot again.
