Instagram oAuth login with Facebook account

I'm trying to build a connection to the Instagram API using the instagram-oauth gem. However, when I open the oauth url, I'm not able to log into my Instagram account via Facebook. Only username/password is shown. Do I have to activate Facebook login support?

Instagram's API requires OAuth 2.0 and it does not support logging in to Instagram with Facebook. OAuth launches the Instagram login via a prebuilt, un-editable web browser, so this functionality is not possible at this point in time.
