@badpenguin Maybe can help you.

I create my script

 $cache =  new Psr16Adapter('Files');

    $instagram = \InstagramScraper\Instagram::withCredentials('jayson.tec', '******', $cache);
    $instagram->login(false, true); // will use cached session if you want to force login $instagram->login(true)
    $instagram->saveSession();  //DO NOT forget this in order to save the session, otherwise have no sense

    sleep(2); // Delay to mimic user

    $username = 'jayson.tec';
    $followers = [];
    $account = $instagram->getAccount($username);

And I run the command from terminal

php /Users/jaysonsantos/projects/instagran/test.php

First time ask for verification code.

But even after put verification code, after a few request ask the verification code again.

I change the userAgent, I'm using an mac computer, now is working

private $userAgent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.89 Safari/537.36';

@jaysongyn thanks i see i can enter the code received via email... this will not work in a crontab too :-( I used setUserAgent() after creating instance with withCredentials().

Anyway two big problems: 1) cache does not work and session are not reused - it ask me everytime the password

$adapter = new Psr16Adapter('Files', new ConfigurationOption(array(
      'path' => $cacheDir
)));
$this->scraper = Instagram::withCredentials( configGet('instagram_username'), configGet('instagram_password'), $adapter);
$this->scraper->setUserAgent('Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/83.0.4103.44 Chrome/83.0.4103.44 Safari/537.36');

2) running "getMediasByTag()" decoding does not work :-(

src/InstagramScraper/Instagram.php:941 Response decoding failed. Returned data corrupted or this library outdated. Please report issue

@badpenguin here has an example how you can verify by email

My session is working after I change user agent. The fist time I type the code manually because session is one year.
