I've been doing some research and looks like ig has changed the way you send credentials. Now is encoded instead of plain text

[cjconnor24]

Yeah I'm also seeing this issue. @joserealdev any idea what the encoding needs to be?

[joserealdev]

@cjconnor24 To be honest, no idea. But if you want to use it anyway, you can just login in the web and get your password encoded, then put it in the config file and change the key password to enc_password in the login form at http.service.js

Just login and get the password encoded from the ajax call

[ardasnturk]

in /services/http.service.js replace the password part password: credentials.password, with the following:
enc_password: '#PWD_INSTAGRAM_BROWSER:0:{time}:'+credentials.password, Insta changed the login methods

@ArdaSenturk is this still working I have had no luck with it. Cheers

Edit:

Magically tried again 30 minutes later and it worked cheers.

Can verify what @ArdaSenturk said.

/services/http.service.js

const formdata = this.getFormData({
    username: credentials.username,
    enc_password: '#PWD_INSTAGRAM_BROWSER:0:{time}:' + credentials.password,
});
