Anyone facing the same issue?
If you already have cookies, i dont think you will get this error.

But if you change or delete cookies or use new account, this error will come.
Someone please verify this.

Thanks in advance.

It seems they updated their styles which changed the select element class name from _fsoey to hztqj. This edit belongs in the login_util.py.

This is definitely not isolated incident though, and other classes that InstaPy depends on were changed too.

[solehpolysas]

So this change effect system to working well.
But weird other function like by tag, follow user follower still working fine at my side.

Im change a little bit code in login_util.py to bypass login page.
Right now i can login back & creating new cookies.

maybe this will need to change all old class element to new one.
Hope some one will make new PR about this ASAP.

@solehpolysas I have the same problem. what code did you change in login_util.py?

[solehpolysas]

Please read New update : https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/issues/2133#issuecomment-394098747

[davidegalizzi87]

@solehpolysas for me don't work

[gumusonur]

@solehpolysas Thanks for the code it works but I have another issue. When the bot joins the instagram and types my id pass firstly it says wrong id pass then somehow it enters the instagram but unfortunately the browser suddenly closes. How can we fix it?

[solehpolysas]

@Gallo87
Can you share your log or error that display when running that?

@Veinex
Please make sure you have key in the correct information 'username & password' double check that.

If it successfully log in, then 'login_util.py' working. So you need to share what error that you facing after that.

[davidegalizzi87]

@solehpolysas my problem is this now:

[justdvl]

@solehpolysas , your update to login util file works, make a push requests so this error is updated ASAP, otherwise I can imagine noone can log in.

[gumusonur]

@solehpolysas I managed to solve it with my other computer, again thanks for your code.

[bvanhou]

It seems they updated their styles which changed the select element class name from _fsoey to hztqj. This edit belongs in the login_util.py.

[succulentia]

After downloading the latest version, I was having problem with the cookie creation. login_util.zip worked for me.

[claraabelha]

Doesn't working here. It just fill up the password -- with nothing in the username, it can't log in. Already checked and the informations are correct!

[solehpolysas]

A few user seems like not get it working properly.
After a few check at my side, YES it's not work. It too quick for any reason i don't know why.

So i just make a little FIX here, new input sleep(1) add at new line 147.
or
feel free to download my file here.
login_util.zip

Please remember, this just FIX for login or creating cookies issue.
For other issue, please refer OPEN PR or Other Open Issue.

I open this back for any discussion & if new PR already merged, please close this issue. :)

[aku6640]

@solehpolysas I have this same error. I have sleep(1) at line 147, but it still says wrong login data. How can I fix this problem?

[solehpolysas]

@aku6640

1. Get latest Master File

2. Edit just like i comments above.

3. Optional : set sleep(5)

Try your best. Maybe this error caused by slow internet connection 🤔 i dont know.

So let see what your chrome browser do.
Its too fast or it skip login page?

Test at your local machine first.
