[NicoRulli]

Describe the bug My code is supposed to log into instagram daily and post something. it worked for a couple days then stopped due to instagram preventing new logins from my code. I just downloaded a free proxy and have my IP set to the same one. Now when I run it, I get the request to my email that I have to put a code in. Okay for now However, I'm still getting login issues.

What can I do to get it to login properly? I don't fully understand the relogin stuff. Is there a line of code I can run that returns a boolean to see if I'm actually logged in? How can I tell if I'm actually logged in and if I'm not, how can I login again//relogin?

Also, should I be logging out at the end of my code? If so where is the code for that?

Thanks!

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac OS Monterey

What works for me is to delete my settings (if you were passing them in) and login in from new, but I'm struggling to properly but this in a try/except

[NicoRulli]

@chrisbuetti I don't have settings to pass in. Can you help me with that? I don't understand the repositories / how to make a settings file. I already lost an account with 14k followers so I'm starting over and really want to get this working properly.
