Infinite checkpoint challenge required

[recoverjp]

Here, checkpoint_challenge_required appears every time, even after sending the code. Can anybody help me?

[naer2]

Use with terminal.

[recoverjp]

I used the terminal, but it still doesn't work. After the script it says that the user is not logged in, and when I try to log in again ($ig->login()) he sends the code again via SMS and stays in the loop.

[naer2]

I think it's about something your computer or IG account. I just check codes it's perfectly work.

[recoverjp]

When creating the account, do I need to configure anything specific? And another thing, I don't understand where this $user_id comes from, line 99.

[naer2]

No. Everything works perfectly fine.

@recoverjp do u still need a help with that? U r right, there's undefined variable $user_id.

Is problem caused only with sms method? Did u tried email method?

[afwn90cj93201nixr2e1re]

The main problem can be caused by instagram security stuff, u need to login in account from web/phone and click on oppened window "That's was me" then u can continue with authorization.

Under this dir @mgp25 api collects user's session tickets.

1) We can get difference result inside first customResponse

(second try)

(this is first time, also at first time we can get null, but it's also gonna send code via email)

Also i wanna notice that sometimes it's just continue sending 'first time auth' field (maybe it's realted to mgp25 api, idk).

So, seems like only one right way to imlpement it is, but possible we gonna get loop there, so, seems like old way is more clean.

@recoverjp if u still have problems with that, try new version. There's more logs, and more info.

As i said u should accept auth. challenge on instagram website too, without that you gonna stay in loop. Mostly it should be aviable on: https://www.instagram.com/challenge/?next=/accounts/get_encrypted_credentials/, it's gonna redirect to this page automaticaly.

Also be careful with auth. challenge stuff.
