Possible Reasons For The Error “CSRF token missing or incorrect”

The error message “CSRF token missing or incorrect” on Instagram typically occurs when there is an issue with the Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection mechanism. CSRF is a security measure implemented by websites and applications to prevent unauthorized actions from being performed on behalf of a user.

In the context of Instagram, the CSRF token is a unique identifier that is generated and associated with each user’s session. It is used to verify the authenticity of requests sent to the server, ensuring that they originate from a legitimate user and not from a malicious source.

When you encounter the “CSRF token missing or incorrect” error on Instagram, it means that the token either wasn’t included with the request or was not valid. This can happen due to various reasons, including:

Expired or invalidated session: If your session on Instagram has expired or been invalidated, the CSRF token associated with it becomes invalid as well. This can occur if you have been logged out or if there was a significant time gap since your last interaction with the platform.
Browser or network issue: Sometimes, browser extensions, network settings, or temporary glitches can interfere with the proper transmission of the CSRF token, resulting in an error message.
