Exclamation Odd Problem (Instagram login via JD - I get mails regarding suspicious activity)

Why is Instagram sending me emails about suspicious logins from unknown devices and/or browsers and places that are near me but not actually me every time i use my IG account on JD2? It doesn't happen when i don't sign into IG with JD2!? What the hell is going on there?

your not alone apparently.

If you search you will probably see may things regarding this such as from >
duckduckgo.com/?q=Instagram+sending+me+emails+about+suspicious+logins+from+unknown+devices&atb=v239-1&ia=web

see > seektogeek.com/why-instagram-saying-suspicious-login-attempt-fix/

Or are you falling for some of the instagram scams? >
thesun.co.uk/tech/9820370/warning-instagram-scam-email-how-to-spot/

What else are you doing simultaneously when you use your JD2 and IG account?
Are you logged into your IG account on the device when you login with JD2? to see if something pops up within your IG account etc.?

Several reasons actually you may be getting that actually and if something within JD2 is allowing for some weirdness the team would need to see your logs and screenshots probably.

Just some thoughts.

I've marked this as "Solved" for nowq as I do not consider it a JD issue.

Technically, the activity JD is performing may be suspicious because:
- When you import your Instagram cookies from other browsers, JD may use another User-Agent than the one you had when you logged in your IG account via browser
- If you switch your IP e.g. via VPN or use proxies in JD which you do not use in browser, this may also be "suspicious" to IG

to further psp response, it could be a missing request within the login sequence which the browser does which JD doesn't

Instagram can easily detect tools/bots for mass downloading You should always use a dedicated account for tools/bots to not risk loosing your *main* account

Default Instagram download issue

So I use the cookie login method, export cookies and successfully update my instagram pass in Jdownloader. Then I enter an instagram link and begin crawling. As soon as crawling starts, it stops and my instagram acc reports "suspicious activity". I have to confirm my identity with phone number and renew my instagram password.

This issue has appeared since a few days ago. Anybody has the same issue and I wonder if there's any solution??? Thanks in advance

Thanks for moving my post. I've read the above posts and links, but I still can't find any solution. Those posts about suspicious activity focuses on how to protect your intagram acc from hacking, but that's not the solution that i am seeking.

@kanas112: Only IG knows what they use for tools/scripts/bots detection.

But of course dedicated account also has less *real normal usage history* and also easier to detect. So in the end it's a cat and mouse game. I'm not a aware of a real *do not detect my tool/script/bot* workaround/solution.

Also we've answered this numerous times.
If I were to use an IG account in JD I would always create an extra one for downloading.
Account bans can of course not only happen when you use JD but also when you're using other tools for automated downloading from IG such as open source project "Instaloader" (see github).

Using the cookie authentication approach, I successfully exported cookies and utilized JDownloader to efficiently update my Instagram password. However, when initiating crawling using an Instagram link, the process abruptly halts. My Instagram profile displays a suspicious activity alert, prompting identity verification and password renewal. This problem has recently been uncovered. Has anyone experienced a similar situation, and are there any potential solutions that can be utilized?
