Unable to login

[m-deane]

Hi, enjoying the code/tool.

At the moment consistently coming across this error:

[*] => Error: [LoginFailedError] - Failed to login. Incorrect username/password, or 2 factor verification is active.

But one problem - on chrome login, for the first time I need to save login information for later as this screen is causing the error related to invalid password/2-factor authentication. What's the best way to get the chromium web driver to save this information as every session that is launched is not saving any data/settings from the previous and is the reason why I think I am continuing to encounter this error.

Tried with and without headless browser but have the same issue - can anyone recommend a way around this?

Thanks

Do you have 2-factor authentication activated for your account?

I cannot log in by loading enither profile nor typing Username/ password.

Hi, I don't have 2 factor authentication activated. Been careful not to activate it

I just checked with manually passing the username/password and also using a profile.json file. Both seems to be working for me. I have 2-factor authentication activated.

Please share the logs (hide the credentials)

Please share the logs.

To save the username/password you can use the path to your browser profile (check the README). You must provide username, password, and a target even if you're using a browser profile. You use a profile.json for this too, like this:

python3 ilcbot.py -pr myprofile.json --brprofile '/home/mycomputer/.config/google-chrome/Profile 1'

Here, I have specified my username, password, target in myprofile.json file and using a Chrome profile. Script will automatically detect if a login is required or not.

hey @shine-jayakumar , I figure out the issue could be Webdriver. Somehow, the webdriver is very slow on my Macbook. And it would cause a timeout and then fail the login. Any chance you know how to solve this issue???

Thanks

Never heard of Webdrivers running slow on a specific OS. You can share the log and we can figure out (remove the username from the log)

you need to handle this pop up.. this causes ..

Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:\git_back\insta-likecom-bot\ilcbot.py", line 114, in raise LoginFailedError("Failed to login. Incorrect username/password, or 2 factor verification is active.") modules.exceptions.LoginFailedError: Failed to login. Incorrect username/password, or 2 factor verification is active. [*] => Total time taken: 11.7298 seconds

if i manually accept it.. everything works fine .. there wasnt any wait it take atleast 2-3 to accpt ...

time.sleep(2) self.wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='Allow all cookies']"))).click()

adding 2lines in instafunc.py at line 264 works
