Hello, thanks for reporting the issue.

This bug was caused by a typo in the code (see [#165]). We've fixed it in the latest commit on main branch.
Also I believe the bug is only triggered when the UI is trying to display the error message if you have entered the wrong password, could you check that and see if the issue is resolved?

We'll also be releasing a patch version on npm asap

Could you provide the logs file for the session in ~/.Instagram-cli/logs, the login functionality itself is working just that it cannot display error messages due to this typo. See [#156] the error might be that you entered a wrong password

I'm sure that my account and password are right and there's no logs file.
Before showing the error message, it shows Challenge required, requesting code, don't know if it helps

This means that instagram is usually sending you an email / SMS to verify your login as would happen on the web, perhaps we're not handling it well, weird that there's no log for the session since it would help us diagnose the issue. Perhaps updating the CLI with the npm install again and see if you can see runtime logs.

I see, this is a known issue that we've tried to resolve with the API library: https://github.com/dilame/instagram-private-api/issues/1804. However, we weren't able to completely fix it since we can't debug it if we don't receive challenge on our development and own accounts. For now, perhaps try to use another account or setup 2FA, or use the python client (which should handle challenges fine). I will ping you once we've solved this for typescript

Let's move the discussion upstream to https://github.com/dilame/instagram-private-api/issues/1804 since we can't really do anything without fixing instagram-private-api.

If anyone can reproduce the No checkpoint data available error / IgNoCheckpointError and want to work on it please let us know, we'd greatly appreciate your help :)
