Issues logging in #4

Closed kbtavish closed 7 years ago

kbtavish commented 7 years ago

Hello,

Does anyone else have issues logging in?

When I do get the slice bounds out of range error.

Thank you.

Version 0.2.0 should fix this bug by updating the upstream dependency on ahmdrz/goinsta.

@kirsle Thank you so much. I also had a question, I do not know if you know the answer. I am having problems logging in. It is telling me that Instagram is rejecting the log in due too many attempts. It's been this way for days and I am not sure how to fix it. Would you happen to know?

Make sure you're not running other apps or bots that might be repeatedly trying to log in? I've seen Instagram rate limit my profile before (i.e. when running this program while also using the app on Android), but they usually lift the block after a couple hours.

Otherwise try contacting their tech support and see what's going on.

@kirsle thank you for the advice! I am usually logged into my IPhone as well. What's weird is that I can log into using a bot that specifically follows and likes, but I can't log using this bot. I've even tried logging in using a different account that I had never used the bot with to no avail? Does that sound weird? I will delete the account completely from my phone because I do log in from there and I won't touch it for 24 hours.

Any advice on what I should tell support? I ask because I have no trouble logging into the account using my phone or other bots so it would be difficult to explain.

It might be cuz your phone and other bots keep a persistent login token, whereas this one logs in each time and doesn't save its session to disk. So you might be getting rate limited on new logins but the things that are already logged in can stay that way.

@kirsle ah that definitely makes sense. So I'm guessing best case would be to just wait it out?
