How to register banned usernames on TikTok & Instagram

Episode Summary

While creating accounts for a company unrelated to Nyedis, we recently encountered an issue on both Instagram & TikTok where it wouldn't allow us to register certain usernames. These usernames did not appear to be in use, so we were troubleshooting what the issue was. After some diligent experimentation, we learned that there is a way around this using a VPN. Here's what we found. Download BreachCast from the iOS App Store to get live breach, CVE, and media news all specific for IAM professionals.
