If a users authorizes my app with Instagram, then log back in, my callback is immediately called. If a user wishes to change their account, they can't without logging out of instagram.com first.

Basically, I'd like to force the user to see this interstitial every time they login:

Authorization Request Screen

  • I'm not immediately familiar with Instagram's setup, but I strongly doubt that this is possible, since in the vast majority of cases it would be nothing more than a frustration to users. I assume you'd know if there were some way to disassociate (or log out, maybe?) users on your side. Why are you looking for this functionality? – Matthew Haugen Jul 6 '14 at 3:11
  • The hootsuite instagram app seems to behave that way, so there must be some way. – iMack Jul 7 '14 at 2:04
  • @iMack would you please show the part of code you are authenticating the user at ? – ProllyGeek Jul 10 '14 at 21:54
  • @iMack Why would you want that behavior? – mb21 Jul 11 '14 at 12:11
  • Not sure if this is the right UX but this should help? instagram.com/developer/restrict-api-requests – Slartibartfast Jul 12 '14 at 15:52

Looks like it was partially answered here: Instagram API: force prompt during authentication

The answer by Plumillon Forge says:

Here is the solution : you have to delete the Instagram cookie named sessionid from your browser so Instagram doesn't recognize you anymore

...BUT the question is how to reset the sessionid cookie for a web user, since it's on the instagram.com domain.
