If you have an account, then you can log in otherwise you have to make or find an Instagram Account and then try it again. One more limitation is that users cannot delete the account linked to this app. To delete the account, it is necessary to delete the Instagram Account.

It is the most famous social networking protocol that the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) established. These are open standards that are responsible for powering the modern web.
