Cannot login #15

Closed Etherrrr closed 5 years ago

Etherrrr commented 5 years ago

It seems i cannot login since the log shows:

[E] Client Error: {"message": "challenge_required", "challenge": {"url": "https://i.instagram.com/challenge/2619762557/bdVtvQsuLC/", "api_path": "/challenge/2619762557/bdVtvQsuLC/", "hide_webview_header": true, "lock": true, "logout": false, "native_flow": true}, "status": "fail", "error_type": "checkpoint_challenge_required"}

Is there any way to avoid this?
