from instabot import Bot

bot = Bot()
bot.login(username="user", password="pass")
followers = bot.get_user_followers(bot.user_id)

Error/Debug Log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

Running the bot off a VPS, whenever checkpoint challenge occurs and user clicks "this was me" then re logs in a new challenge occurs. Im guessing that this is because the code randomizes what kind of device it logs in from?

Hey @jcavallo88,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job :smile:

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Please see this: https://github.com/instagrambot/instabot/issues/1224 you have 2fa enabled I assume?

hydrotik commented 4 years ago

Is there even a way to disable 2FA in IG? I took a quick look and didn't see anything. Could be cause I was using a business account. I assume it's standard across all types of accounts? I tried exporting a cookie and used the code that navigates the 2FA but it doesn't seem to work.

Hello, has this situation been updated? I'm having the same problem, instagram asks for login confirmation and I can't access the account.

getting this error as well, login info is correct, 2fa is not enabled on ig, what else could be the issue? even after manually clearing challenge it just repeats

bruvv commented 4 years ago

Your password needs to be changed. Change your password. Remove the secret file and the json cookie file and you're good to go.
