I reported this to a contact at Instagram and they said they are aware of the issue. They don’t have an ETA for the fix yet, but they are looking into it. It's just odd that it seems so random with all of our customers.

thanks for the update, it started working yesterday for about 10 hours, then acting up randomly again.

Update: as of now, All of our accounts are magically working. I did asked my facebook friends to pass the issue's urgency to Instagram team.

Just checked again, we're still seeing issues. I can reproduce, simply by using my personal account in a private window, it randomly fails in at least one of our environments (e.g. prod, staging, localhost).

It was working for us for the most of the day, but now acting up not working again...

Instagram has fixed the issue, at least it appears to be the case to us.

Are you sure about that? We're still getting this error.

at the time of my last writing, i was sure as all accounts are working fine. But today, it started acting up again. Now I had to change up to different wifi to login with Instagram.

We're experiencing the same issue here. Reports from multiple clients over the last few days. Surely enough checking the logs yields an invalid_credentials error. Trouble is, we can't faithfully reproduce the issue from our network, but clients are reporting failures to authenticate every time they try! Have contacted Instagram for an update. Anyone else still experiencing the issue?

Same here, we are still getting this error.

I think everyone posted, replied under this thread (and many other stackoverflow threads) experienced the same issue. The issue seemed resolved for us just yesterday for a day, but today, it started acting up again, had to switch up wifi to log into Instagram. We also added email login after this incident.

Anyone know if the problem has already been solved? Thank you!

Not sure if the issue has already been solved but I have tried with different accounts in different environments we have for our app and it was working fine for all the accounts. Previously, it was very easy to reproduce the problem. Fingers crossed!

Have you heard anything back from your contact at all?
