There are a lot of people buying and selling Instagram pages on platforms like BHW, and if you’re not careful, you can easily lose your money and the account.

As someone who’s been in this space for a while, I’ll walk you through the best and safest steps to take over an Instagram page as a BUYER, whether you’re buying a babe page to convert into a model page, or just want it for personal or business use.

Let’s set the ball rolling

1. Get the OGE and Password First

OGE (Original Gmail Email) is the most important part of the deal. It’s the email used to create the account, and it gives you total control.
If the seller doesn’t have the OGE, don’t buy. They can easily recover the account later, especially if it was created and managed on one device.

Tip: Log into the OGE first before attempting to access the Instagram account. That way, if a security code is sent, you’ll have it immediately.
Avoid accounts created with phone numbers; they’re harder to secure.

2. Get the Instagram Username and Password

Ask for the IG login details and try logging in. You’ll likely get a verification code sent to the email (the OGE you already have access to.

3. Confirm the OGE Is Truly the Original

Before making payment or immediately after if you already bought, confirm the OGE’s authenticity.
Go to Profile → Menu (three dots) → Your Activity → Account History.
Check the email and phone number history. The original email is usually the second activity shown, right after the account creation.

4. Change All Passwords

Once you’ve confirmed the OGE, change both the Gmail and Instagram passwords immediately.
Be patient, Gmail may ask for verification from the old phone, but it’s worth the effort.

5. Log Out All Devices from the OGE

Go to Gmail → Settings → Security → Your Devices.
Sign out all devices except yours. Anyone trying to log in afterward will need the new password (which only you have).

6. Activate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

This step seals the deal.
Turn on 2FA for both Instagram and the OGE using apps like Google Authenticator or Authy.
Once done, no one can access your account without your verification code, even if they somehow get your password.

If you follow these steps carefully, your new Instagram page will be 100% yours, safe and secured.
Many people lose pages simply because they skip one of these small but critical steps.
 
Solid and detailed guide—getting full OGE control plus 2FA is key to avoiding scams. Always verify everything before payment to keep your investment safe.
 
Another thing is to check the filter in OGE; there may be a filter, for example:
If the email comes from Instagram > forward it to > scammer email.
 
Buying and selling Instagram pages can be risky, so be careful. Always get the OGE (original email) and password first — it’s what gives full control. Log into the OGE before the IG account, confirm it’s the real one, then change all passwords. Log out other devices and turn on 2FA for both email and Instagram. Follow these steps to keep your new page safe.
 
This is good, however one thing to mention is, if you change the password right after login, you may trigger verification. In that case, it may be best to just change the password of the Gmail First, and then add 2FA right away.
 
Really solid breakdown — most people rush into buying without checking the OGE or account history first. I learned the hard way that skipping 2FA or not verifying the original email can cost you the whole page later. This guide nails the essentials perfectly!

This is the most complete and clear explanation i've seen on this topic.

Log out all other devices on Gmail and IG before doing anything else.

Change both Instagram and email passwords after login.
