Anyone Else Facing the Instagram Login Glitch? Keeps Saying Wrong Password!

10 Replies, 1375 Views

Hey everyone,

Is anyone else dealing with this super annoying instagram login glitch wrong password issue? Like, I *know* my password is correct, but it keeps saying it’s wrong. Tried resetting it multiple times, and it still won’t let me in.

I’ve seen a few people on Twitter mentioning the same thing, so I’m guessing it’s not just me? Maybe it’s some server-side bug or something.

Anyone found a fix yet? Or are we all just stuck refreshing the app and hoping for the best?

Also, side note—why does this always happen at the worst times? Ugh.

Let me know if you’ve figured it out!

Cheers!
Ugh, same here! Been dealing with this instagram login glitch wrong password thing for hours now. Tried everything—clearing cache, reinstalling the app, even resetting my password like 5 times. Still no luck.

I saw someone on Reddit suggest using a VPN to log in, and weirdly enough, it worked for them. Maybe give that a shot?

Also, check downdetector.com to see if it’s a widespread issue. Looks like a lot of people are reporting the same problem rn.
Yo, I had this exact issue last week! The instagram login glitch wrong password thing is so frustrating.

What worked for me was logging in through the browser instead of the app. For some reason, the app just wouldn’t accept my password, but the browser did.

Also, make sure you’re not using any third-party apps linked to your IG account. They can mess things up sometimes.
This is so annoying, right? I’ve been stuck with the instagram login glitch wrong password issue for 2 days now.

I contacted Instagram support, and they said it’s a known bug they’re working on. No ETA for a fix though.

In the meantime, try logging in from a different device. Worked for me when my phone wouldn’t cooperate.
Hey! I had the same problem yesterday. The instagram login glitch wrong password thing is definitely a server-side issue.

I found a workaround—log in using your Facebook account if it’s linked. It bypasses the password issue entirely.

Also, keep an eye on @InstagramComms on Twitter. They usually post updates about bugs like this.
Ugh, this instagram login glitch wrong password nonsense is driving me crazy.

I tried resetting my password, but it didn’t help. Then I read somewhere that turning off two-factor authentication temporarily can fix it. It worked for me!

Just make sure to turn it back on once you’re in.
Same boat here! The instagram login glitch wrong password issue is so frustrating.

I found that using the “Forgot Password” link and resetting it through email (not SMS) worked for me. Also, make sure your app is updated to the latest version.

If all else fails, try logging in from a desktop. Sometimes the app just glitches out.
Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I tried logging in through the browser like someone mentioned, and it actually worked! Still can’t get into the app though, so I guess it’s a temporary fix.

Has anyone heard if Instagram has acknowledged this issue officially? I checked their Twitter, but no updates yet.

Also, for those who used a VPN—which one did you use? I’m thinking of giving that a shot next.

Cheers!
This instagram login glitch wrong password thing is such a headache.

I read on a tech forum that clearing your app data (not just cache) can help. It worked for me, but you’ll have to log back into all your apps, so it’s a bit of a hassle.

Also, check if your account is temporarily locked. IG does that sometimes if there are too many failed login attempts.
Hey, I’ve been dealing with the instagram login glitch wrong password issue too.

What helped me was logging in through Instagram Lite. It’s a lighter version of the app and seems to bypass the glitch. You can download it from the Play Store or App Store.

Also, try logging in during off-peak hours. Sometimes the servers are just overloaded.
