Hi,

As the owner of the account had changed, Instagram wanted to verify the authentication by asking the previous owner to confirm a security code, in order to make sure that the account was not hacked.

Now, if you've already changed (and confirmed) all contact information in the account settings by yours, and removed those of that person, then you're the full owner of the Instagram account.

In case Instagram will asks you to confirm a code in the future, they'll send it to you through your phone number or email address.
