In the recent past, Instagram had some issues with people's accounts getting
hacked in today's video we're going to talk about a new feature that Instagram
incorporated into their platform so that way you can protect yourself and make
sure no one hacks your account or uses your payment information to buy products
that you didn't authorize so stay tuned we're going to cover that in today's
digital marketing news today update
and welcome back and thank you for joining me my name is Jorden Steen also
known as Cereal Entrepreneur and at this channel we talk all about starting a
marketing agency building a brand or really just using digital marketing to
build any online business or business in general so if you're interested in any
of those topics make sure to hit that subscribe button and the notification on
bell the bottom right hand corner over here so that way you get updated with all of
our future videos trainings resources and giveaways that we do every single
week oh and make sure to stay tuned to the end of todays video so that way we
can show you how to use Instagram stories to help build your business
online now let's go ahead and jump into the app and we'll show you how to use
this new feature so guys the new feature is actually a two factor authentication
feature and I know a lot of people don't like to use often two-factor
authentication but guys it really is the best way to protect yourself from being
hacked or someone being able to use any of your payment information or personal
data to do things that you don't want them to do so the first thing you're
going to want to do is download an Authenticator app and the one that I
actually recommend is Google Authenticator all you have to do is go
to and the Android Google Play Store or the Apple Store and download the
Authenticator app there are some other options for our Authenticator so if you
want to see those other options just make sure to go right below this video
and click on the blog link and you can check out some of the other suggestions
we left there oh and quick question have you used a two-factor authentication or
two-factor authentication before if you have right yes or no below in the
comments we'd love to know if you have or not
now once two-factor authentication is downloaded or you have an app downloaded
for two-factor authentication all you have to do is click on this
little bar up top and then you're going to click settings once you get inside
your account from here you're going to click privacy and security and then
you'll come down to where you see two-factor authentication
now all you have to do is click get started you'll do autant occation app
you'll click Next so that way you can set it up or you can set it up manually
it'll automatically connect though so you can actually save the key for Cereal
underscore entrepreneur which is my Instagram account and you can see it
says Instagram and then we can just click OK now you can see which go ahead
and try to use any of these numbers that's the best part about two-factor
authentication you can see all of these little timers right here it resets every
time that timer goes down so you can try to use these codes but they're not going
to work by the time you guys see this video but you can see all I have to do
now is put this code in when I try to log into Instagram and it
will put a second layer of authentication in for my app that way no
one else can make a purchase or do anything else with my sensitive
information without me doing it first so the next thing you're going to want to
do is confirm your code which all you have to do is click Next and then you
can see it'll ask you for the code I'm gonna hit the thing I'll go to my
Authenticator app 9 6 0 4 2 1 go back and enter it 9 6 0 4 2 1 hit next and
then it's going to authenticate the app now we're done two-factor authentication
is on and these are my recovery codes so if I lose my phone or can't receive a
code via text message or an authentication app I can use these codes
to get back into my account save them in a safe place
each code can only be used once you can only get new codes if you're worried
this has been stolen or if you have already used most of them the key here
guys is just to make sure that you take a screenshot of these recovery codes and
you save them somewhere safe so that way in case you can't for some reason get
into your Authenticator app you have these codes to enter into Instagram so
that way you're able to get in anyways so let's play a game guys we're going to
give away three months to our mentorship program to the best comment below and
what I want you guys to comment below is what is one thing that you think
Instagram can do to better improve their security features without having to add
in two-factor authentication what's another thing you think Instagram might
