Describe your issue

i get this 'ds_user_id' error for everything i try to do with the bot, i think is a login problem but 'm not sure cause i don't fully understand it :(

[taylorturner]

Having the same issue.

[ghonchesefidi]

Same here

[DeadmauZ]

same issue help

[avishaan]

same issue, slightly related I thought if I could just log in again I might be able to solve the problem. Unfortunately, even when I do use_cookies=False, force=True and delete the cookie file (the default in the documentation seems to be wrong) it no longer logs in and just hangs now

[silvanarmbruster]

Someone figured out whats the problem? Would be soooo nice!

Duplicate of #860 . First check your username and password, if they are correct, you received an instagram checkpoint challenge. Use

bot.login(ask_for_code=True)

Also see #1140
