Instapy: Bypass Suspicious Login Attempt not Working on Headless Browser

[RayZorJ3lade]

Using a very basic profile with headless browser enabled.

session = InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password, headless_browser=True, bypass_suspicious_attempt=True)

It sends the email but when I enter the code I get:

Cookie file not found, creating cookie...
Instagram detected an unusual login attempt
A security code was sent to your Email:
Type the security code here:

[Session lasted 10.96 minutes]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I also had the same error except for:

selenium.common.exceptions._WebDriverException_: Message: invalid argument: 'value' must be a string

I tried it a few times with instapy ajnd entered the codes an also manually logged in on instagram with the browser. I got a few Mails where I had to confirm that was me. And now it works. Perhaps this works for you too.

Same issue.

Fixed it by modifying:
https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/blob/44482c77524f295d5bd0b0220a6239705066ca6d/instapy/login_util.py#L136-L137
Like this :

wrong_login = browser.find_element_by_xpath(str(read_xpath(bypass_suspicious_login.__name__,"wrong_login")))
