Logged Out During Automation

Symptoms

• Instagram asks for login during workflow
• “Session expired” message
• Automation fails at Instagram login screen
• Account logged out repeatedly

1. Re-Login Manually

1. Stop any running workflow
2. On your phone, open Instagram manually
3. Log in with your credentials
4. Complete any security verifications
5. Navigate around to confirm you’re logged in
6. Then restart your workflow

2. Security Verification Required

Instagram may have triggered security:

• Check for “Confirm it’s you” prompts
• Complete SMS or email verification
• Confirm your identity as requested
• Wait for the security process to complete

3. Two-Factor Authentication

If your Instagram account has 2FA:

• 2FA prompts will interrupt automation
• Log in manually and select “Remember this device”
• Consider app-based 2FA over SMS for stability

4. Suspicious Activity Detection

Instagram may log you out if it detects unusual activity:

Trigger	Prevention
Too many actions too fast	Use longer delays
Actions from new device	Use same device consistently
Unusual patterns	Vary your actions
VPN/proxy detected	Don’t use VPN during automation

5. Account Settings

Check Instagram account settings:

1. Open Instagram → Settings → Security
2. Review Login activity
3. Remove any suspicious sessions
4. Check Emails from Instagram for security alerts

6. Session Persistence

Ensure Instagram stays logged in:

• Don’t clear app data/cache
• Don’t use multiple devices simultaneously
• Keep Instagram app updated
• Don’t log into Instagram web during automation
