Step 1: Re-enter your secret key
Go to your Accounts tab in AutoIGDM.
Click the three dots next to the affected account.
Select Edit Credentials.
Re-enter your 2FA secret key carefully in the appropriate field.
Step 2: Watch the tutorial video, till the end
⚠️ This part is crucial.
On the right-hand side of the “Add Secret Key” page, you’ll see a tutorial video.
➡️ Watch it all the way to the end.
Many users skip the last 30 seconds and that’s where the most important instructions are. Missing this part means your secret key won’t sync properly, no matter how many times you try.
Step 3: Choose the right device for the secret key
Stick with the device (mobile or desktop) where you’ve used your Instagram account the longest.
If you’ve only recently logged in via desktop, we recommend doing the secret key setup on mobile instead.
Why? Because Instagram trusts the device you’ve used most often — and this trust helps avoid security blocks or sync issues.
Step 4: Click “Update Account”
After adding your correct secret key, hit Update Account. Then give the system a moment to verify and refresh your account status.
✅ You’re done! Your status should now show Warming Up or Active.
