I was unable to fix this problem and I'm unsure if it even makes any sense to put more time into this as Instagram has changed their login process quite frequently in the past.

I did some reading over at the Reddit IG forum. It looks like IG was purging bot accounts and the like. I can't begin to tell you how many IG users had the same problems I did. It came to the point that I had to make a selfie with my name, user name, and the numeric code they provided. This was on Tuesday I think.

This morning my account was reopened and I just downloaded a back log of images with JD with no problems at all.

Weird.
