challenges should be handled differently. I would strongly suggest to first log in on a mobile phone and then use the bot.

challenge_required it's a n MFA code or simply changing the password will help bypass https://adw0rd.github.io/instagrapi/usage-guide/challenge_resolver.html

Please read the readme before posting in issues

I implemented email challenge but i am getting this as a response despite correct gmail password.

I found few pointers. This issue is because of gmail not letting other apps login.
