Possible to use on accounts with two-factor auth enabled? #4

Thank you so much for this script. Is there any way around the two_factor_required error thrown when your account has 2FA turned on, or should I just remove it & re-enable it on my account after I'm done running the script?

My account has liked so many posts that I'll likely have to run this script across multiple times/days and I ideally wouldn't want to leave 2FA turned off (or to go back and forth with enabling it) that whole time. Thanks!

Currently there is no way to use the script with 2FA. You will have to turn off 2FA, use the script then turn it on again. I also don’t plan on developing new features, but if someone wants to develop a 2FA method, feel free to submit a pull request.

Thanks for the answer! No worries. Apparently someone's made a fork of another JS-backed Instagam private API repo at https://github.com/ini0n/instagram-private-api-auth, which includes support for 2FA, so this should be possible in theory if anyone wants to tackle it in the future.
