This solved the cookie and login issue for me:

change line 136 of login_util.py: //select[@class='_fsoey']/option[text()='English']").click()

"//select[@class='hztqj']/option[text()='English']").click()
and add

sleep(2)
in between line 149: # (valid for placeholder too)
and: input_username = browser.find_elements_by_xpath(

I tried clearing everything.. did fresh install... cleared temp files... cookies... everything.. updated chromedriver.... checked account details and tried changing credentials too

I tried re-download InstaPy but the issue still there... I think it's because Instagram had a new update in the login page! But I can't update InstaPy's one...

i keep getting Wrong login data!

ghost on 2 Jun 2018

@uki-uki I'm getting that same problem as well and am not sure how to fix it.

awesome205 on 2 Jun 2018

same here, have changed the class but receive "Wrong login data!" as a result. Anyone can help please?

dreck142 on 2 Jun 2018

Same here, @dreck142! The password is filled but the username doesn't. That's why it says the login is wrong...

claraabelha on 2 Jun 2018

@claraabelha Managed to make it work... I logged in manually while Instapy was trying to go through (got to be fast!) and I was in.. sad solution but it works for now...
