challange_required after calling the method ig.challenge.auto(true) #1319

Hi, after calling the method ig.challenge.auto(true), I again get the error challange_required. How can I pass this type of challenge correctly?

I think there needs to be an example of handing the challenges. I am not sure how to approach it at all.

There is an example how to handle checkpoints here, but for me it also stopped working (for 1 account). Calling ig.challenge.auto(true) throws another IgCheckpointError

IgCheckpointError: POST /api/v1/challenge/reset/43632508788/2derKAkFEY/ - 400 Bad Request; challenge_required

I solved it by logging in through the instagram webapp and doing the challenge manually, then resetting the password. After doing this I was able to also logg back in through the instagram-private-api. Unfortunately I did not write down debug logs, and I wasnt able to programatically do the challenge. Will report here proper logs in case this happens again.

I still have this issue, @Danail-Irinkov or @jsdavid did you find a workaround by now?

Also I noticed that after the IgCheckpointError is thrown, ig.checkpoint is undefined. In the checkpoint example it is indicated that it should contain checkpoint info.

Hi :) Thank you so much for the reference. I managed to get it going, but since I am doing it for the first time, my ip got timed out for too many requests. Do you have some insight into how their throttling works? I couldn't find reliable info online...

Kind regards, Dan
