Describe your issue

I tried out instabot today first time. I wanted to use it to view stories of other users. When I try it I'm asked for account first and then I get the error above. I have the same problem with another example python scripts. I think the problem could be that I'm on vacation in another country now (Instagram knows where I am) and I'm trying to run the statement above from a remote server in my home country. After every run Instagram website asks me if I just tried to login in my home country (Germany):

I can commit that it was me, but after the next run of python script I see this question again.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Best regards

Fixed!

Solution: Check your username and pass Business accounts will not work for this type of login.

Well, I didn't know business accounts wouldn't work. But now I can't delete the original username and pass because of this error (yes I tried restarting my PC): PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'secret.txt'

I deleted my username and entered it again. After that it seems to work. The password was definitely right. Don't ask me what have changed. Try it also. I will close the issue.

I had changed my profile to personal but still no luck.

Same problem here! After trying to log in instagram detected an atypical login attempt and asked me if I tried.

This is a common problem happens to 2 out of 5 accounts, this can be fixed 90% of the time by using challenge required.
