Moreno Administration Gains Access to New Orleans Instagram Account

Two-step authentication tied to returned city phones has made Meta’s assistance necessary to complete the transition.

Overview

  • The Moreno administration posted to the city's Instagram on Friday, confirming access with a "We're in" message.
  • WDSU reports the new team now controls some official accounts, though access to other platforms remains unconfirmed.
  • The Moreno team said Thursday it lacked necessary information from the prior administration for a smooth handoff.
  • Former Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s office says it provided passwords on Jan. 8 and described its role as fully cooperative.
  • The former administration says verification codes are linked to city-issued numbers returned to Human Resources, necessitating coordination with Meta.
