Sharingtools makes it simple and secure to add your Instagram account, whether you're using an Android or iOS device. This guide will walk you through the steps to add a new account, select your preferred verification method, choose a country for proxy connections, enable two-factor authentication, set up email verification automation, configure a custom proxy, and adjust advanced settings such as debug mode, custom user agents, and device selection. All login credentials remain private and encrypted for enhanced security.
Open the "Add New Account" Window
In your Sharingtools dashboard, navigate to the section for adding a new Instagram account. This will open a form where you can enter your account details.
Enter Your Username and Password
Username: Input your Instagram username here.
Password: Enter your Instagram password. Don’t worry—Sharingtools uses encryption to store all passwords securely, ensuring that no one, including administrators, can view your passwords.
Show/Hide Additional Options
If needed, click the Show/Hide Options button to reveal or hide additional settings for the account. This is useful for accessing more configuration choices as they become available.
Select Platform and Device (Optional)
Platform: Choose the appropriate platform for the device you're using:
iOS: Select this if you're using an iOS device.
Android: Select this if you're using an Android device.
Device Selection: Once you select the platform, you can further specify the device model to match the actual device you’re using, enhancing compatibility and device simulation.
For iOS, options include popular models like iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and more.
For Android, options include various popular Android devices, such as Asus ASUS_X00BD (Android 10) and others.
Choosing the exact device model (if available) helps ensure that Sharingtools emulates the specific device environment accurately, which is especially useful for automation and avoiding verification issues.
Choose Verification Method
Under the Verification section, select the verification method that you want to use for logging in. This choice determines how Sharingtools will authenticate your account during login. Available options include:
E-mail: Verification code will be sent to your registered email.
Mobile Phone: Verification code will be sent via SMS to your registered phone number.
Login Confirm from Trusted Device: Login confirmation will be requested from a device previously recognized as trusted.
Backup Codes: Use pre-generated backup codes for account verification.
WhatsApp: Verification code will be sent to your WhatsApp account.
Choose the method that best suits your security preferences and ensures reliable account access.
Select Country for Proxy (Optional)
Purpose: If you're using the system's automatically assigned 5G mobile proxies, selecting a country can improve connection reliability by using a proxy close to your target audience or base location.
How to Use: Open the Country dropdown menu and select the country closest to your target area or region. If no specific country is preferred, leave it on Default to allow the system to choose automatically.
Two-Factor Authentication Secret Key (2FA) (Optional)
Purpose: Adding a Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Secret Key enhances account security and allows Sharingtools to automatically generate 2FA codes as needed.
How to Use: In the Two-Factor Secret Key field, enter the 2FA secret key associated with your Instagram account. You can retrieve this key from the security settings in your Instagram account.
Example Format: Typical secret keys might look like this: XVQ2UIGO75XRUKJO.
By providing the 2FA key, Sharingtools can generate authentication codes on your behalf, streamlining the login process when two-factor verification is required.
Email Verification Automation (Optional)
Purpose: This feature allows Sharingtools to automatically verify Instagram security codes sent to your email, simplifying the login and verification process.
How to Use:
IMAP Server Address: Enter the IMAP server address for your email provider. For Gmail, this would be imap.gmail.com.
IMAP Port: Enter the IMAP port number. For Gmail, the default SSL port is 993.
Email: Enter the email address linked to your Instagram account.
Password: Enter your email password or an application-specific password if required by your provider (e.g., Gmail).
Important Note: You may need to enable access to your mailbox through POP3, IMAP, or SMTP protocols, as this is often turned off by default for security reasons. Ensure that your email settings allow external applications to access the mailbox.
With this information, Sharingtools can automatically retrieve and verify any security codes sent to your email, saving you time and hassle.
Proxy (Optional)
Purpose: While Sharingtools provides 5G mobile proxies by default, you can also add a custom proxy to enhance account security or connect from a specific location.
How to Use:
Enter the proxy details in the field provided. The proxy should match one of the following patterns:
HTTP: http://ip:port or http://username:password@ip:port
SOCKS5: socks5://username:password@ip:port or socks5h://username:password@ip:port
Recommended: It’s best to use a proxy from the same country where you typically access your Instagram account. This minimizes the risk of login issues due to unexpected location changes.
Adding a custom proxy ensures that your account login appears consistent and secure, especially if you frequently switch networks or locations.
Additional Settings (Optional)
API Link for Proxy Rotation: If you have access to an API that changes the IP address of your proxy, enter the link here. This feature helps enhance account security and connection reliability by rotating the IP address, especially useful for automated actions.
Accelerator (Slave) Account: Check this box if you want to designate this account as an Accelerator (Slave). An accelerator account acts as a scraper, gathering data for processes on Sharingtools without engaging in visible activities. This setting is generally used for data extraction to support the main account's activities.
Debug Mode (Optional)
Purpose: Enabling Debug Mode is useful for diagnosing login issues and providing detailed logs for the developer team.
How to Use: Check the Debug Mode box to enable it. When activated, a debug log file is generated at login, which you can access in the /var/www/html/app/sessions/{account_id}/ folder. This log file will help the developer team troubleshoot issues if you experience problems during login.
Note: This option is visible only to admin users and is intended for troubleshooting purposes.
Custom Android User-Agent and Device ID (Optional)
Purpose: These options allow you to specify a Custom User-Agent and Device ID for Android accounts. This feature is particularly useful when importing child accounts, as it can help bypass verification requirements.
Custom Android User-Agent: Enter the custom user-agent string that represents the device environment. Example format: 27/8.1.0; 440dpi; 1080x2030; Xiaomi/xiaomi; Redmi Note 5; whyred; qcom.
Custom Device ID: Specify a unique device ID for the account, allowing Sharingtools to mimic a specific device environment accurately.
Using custom user-agent and device ID settings helps in scenarios where you manage multiple accounts and need precise device simulation for each account.
Save and Confirm
After filling in all required fields, click the Save or Add Account button to complete the process. Your account will now be added to Sharingtools, ready for management.
Sharingtools places a high emphasis on security. All passwords, 2FA keys, email credentials, proxy information, API links, and debug data are fully encrypted, meaning they are securely stored and inaccessible to anyone, including Sharingtools' administrators. This feature ensures that your account credentials remain private and protected.
