Issue on login

[dspe]

Hi,

I try to connect on IG but I got this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pvr/Documents/Projects/instagram-python/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/instagrapi/mixins/private.py", line 205, in _send_private_request

    raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/accounts/login/

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I've checked my login and password are correct. The only things is that I m using 2FA. What could be wrong?

Made a quick test by disabling the 2FA the code work.
Do you think it will be possible to support it in a future? thanks

@dspe Yes, in the future it will be possible to implement, make an Issue so as not to forget

Hey man, how to use the 2FA, I'm a bit confused, how can I input the code before the login request, and if I make another login request with the previous OTP it gives me a new one. I'm not sure how this works, can you please explain.

cl.login(username, password, verification_code='<2FA code>')

[AsianZeus]

I know the code but I'm confused with the implementation, how can I get the code beforehand?
I need to login first and then the OTP will come and then I'll get the code, but if I make another login request with the previous OTP it gives me a new OTP.
can you please elaborate on How to use this function or login with 2FA in general?

I use apps like Google Authenticator, there the TOTP code is generated every half minute

for full automation, you need to write your own TOTP service and store the tokens issued by Instagram in it

Alright got it! Thanks!
