Hey @R3n3r0 try the following:

1. Updating your browser in the latest version
2. Updating your Instagram app
3. Logout from your Instagram account (from the browser) and login again

[bruise24]

Same here to me! already done what you said and nothing occurs =\

[new92]

Hmm, ok let me check it and I'll get back to you ! @bruise24 you too are using Linux correct ?

[bruise24]

Curiously I'm on Windows. But error is the same. Thank you

[new92]

Ok and both @R3n3r0 @bruise24 are using Firefox correct ?

[R3n3r0]

Yes

[bruise24]

Yes I'm using it too.

[new92]

Ok got it

[bruise24]

Thank you!

[new92]

@R3n3r0 @bruise24 Can you try using it one more time ? I made some changes and hopefuly they resolved the issue.

@bruise24 I see, try entering this command: pip install --upgrade instagrapi

Working now! Thank you so much for your effort

[bruise24]

Hello friend.

It worked one time. Now it just doesn't seem to log in.

Don't pass from here:

[+] Attempting to login using.....

[new92]

Hi,

Ok that's a tough one. I reviewed the code and can't figure out why's acting that way. After the message you mentioned it should print something like: "[✔] Login successful !" or "[✘] Failed to login." . Maybe you modified the source code in any way ? Or you're using an older version of IGFI. If that's the case try these commands:

cd IGFI
git pull

And then repeat the process from the beginning. (python3 cookies.py etc.). And let me know if that works.

[bruise24]

It worked friend!

Now is this one =( :

[+] Following Real Madrid...
[✔] Ok
[+] Following Champions League...
[✔] Ok

[new92]

Great ! Ok that's a common one. All you have to do is login to your Instagram account via your browser preferably Firefox. Then execute again IGFI.

I'm logged in Firefox. I use Mac OS

[new92]

Hey @lukaszflorczak ok try updating also the instaloader module in its latest version and run again IGFI.

[new92]

@lukaszflorczak did it work ?

[lukaszflorczak]

Nope

[new92]

@lukaszflorczak so I researched the issue you mentioned and the problem appears to be in the IP address you're using. So in order to resolve that you'll need to either use a proxy or a VPN and run IGFI again.
