You may have arrived at this help article because Studiorific's permissions to post to your Instagram account have expired. Your account has to be reconnected in order to re-authorize Studiorific with the up to date permissions to post to Instagram on your behalf.


You may have some questions:

  1. Why did this happen?
    Instagram may expire permissions for a variety of reasons:
    1. You have changed your Instagram username or password.
    2. You have changed your Instagram security settings (ex. 2 factor authentication settings or verification related settings).
    3. Instagram's permissions expire after a certain period of time since your last login attempt. 
    4. Instagram detects a suspicious activity on your account and expires the permissions automatically.

  2. How can I minimize or stop this from happening again?
    It is not possible to stop this from happening because it depends on the naturally occurring factors listed above. However, it is possible to minimize this by using Instagram's 2 factor authentication. When using 2 factor authentication with your Instagram's account, you are eliminating or minimizing from the effect of points 3 and 4 listed above.

    To enable 2 factor authentication on your account, follow the instructions from Instagram's help guide (click here).
