Login to Instagram API fails

[LeChrisS]

after installing the bridge i ran login x y with x=username and y=password

bridge responds with Failed to log in: Request POST /api/v1/accounts/login/ failed: Sorry, there was a problem with your request.

python error looks like there is a problem communicating with the api:

[2021-12-28 15:29:11,935] [ERROR@mau.commands] Failed to log in

i checked the client response variable in https://github.com/mautrix/instagram/blob/7bf79badf5c96434df3f67e1543760fb0b844395/mauigpapi/http/base.py#L189 and found out that i get a <ClientResponse(https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/accounts/login/) [403 Forbidden]>

i guess instagram changed their api.

does anybody have the same issue? thanks!
