I have the same error / bug. One thing I noticed is that I also get this error message in instagram when I try to login in my Browser. I know for sure, that the password is correct since I changed it a few minutes ago and copied the password from a password manager.

I have the same error. If you find any solution for this please let me know. (It's not just for macOS)

[Akif-Efe]

I'm having the same problem for windows 10. What solution do you suggest? My information is correct but I cannot log in.

Same here, I am running it on Ubuntu and it declines all my accounts. I would be more than happy if someone has a solution to share

@talhakabakus I get that error often, it works for me when I login my instagram profile from the app/web and change my password from settings.

How much time do you have between the errors?

How much time do you have between the errors?

I usually login once and dump settings into a json file so it stays logged in. (See "Best Practices" in documentation), but I wasn't able to use this api much due to dm sending error, so I can't say much.
