Show HN: I made an app that locks you out of your Instagram account (opens in new tab)

indeed you can do this. truly embarrassed that it took me as long as it did into my initial detox (2 months) to realize i could just reset my password! but as mentioned in this thread, that's fine if someone figures that out. not going to advertise it, and if someone uses it, then i'm sure they have a good reason.

I missed that "loophole"!

It cn be used to cheat and reconnect before the official time, but I guess the additionañ steps are useful to discourage it.

@OP: Anyway, if a moron use this in the main email account that is the recovery addres for everithig, and the hard disk in the server crashes, do yo have a good backup?
