Can't handle "Checkpoint-Required" Errors #29

Closed erleiuat closed 6 years ago

erleiuat commented 6 years ago

If Login fails because Instagram requires a Checkpoint (user verification) it's not possible to login anymore. Is there any way to solve this in code or a walkaround?

Hi @eliareutlinger, I'm afraid I can help with that at the moment... you may need to disable this to use InstaBot. I will definitely add this feature in the future 🙌

@nickpettican I would disable it if I could but thats not a feature you can control. It's like Instagram's authentification for new devices. I had to wait for about a day untill it desappeard by itself.

You must verify instagram with a phone number... they are literally forcing us to do that. When you add the number, those checkpoint things won't show up anymore.

@paja93 They still do if you try to login on a new device.

Workaround: Login with your browser FIRST to be able to handle the checkpoint. After that, Instagram should trust your device and you can login with InstaBot too.
