Same error? Any solution?

[SelfMadeDev]

Same here! Did anybody find a solution?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[MassimoCastell]

Still got the problem. Probably because of an underscore in the user name.

[canpoyrazoglu]

Nope, no underscore in my username (it's just letters) and I'm also getting the same error. This is my first time trying this bot and I've followed all the steps correctly, and I'm getting the same error.

[canpoyrazoglu]

I was just entering my password incorrectly. Check that you are entering your correct password, and try to put quotation marks around your username and password:

python3 like_hashtags.py -u 'yourusername' -p 'yourpassword'

Same issue here!!

You received an instagram checkpoint challenge. Use

bot.login(ask_for_code=True)

Also see #1140

That is it! You saved my life!

[ohld]

@leoccyao Maybe it is worth to add this parameter by default?

Exactly where am I supposed to insert this code?
