@vladutt Thanks for the bug report, this is a known issue with 2FA login (see https://github.com/supreme-gg-gg/instagram-cli/issues/167#issuecomment-3489209108). We're trying to fix it.
For now, perhaps try using another account, or use the python client (which should handle 2FA fine).
We will ping you once we've solved this for typescript

@vladutt are you using SMS or TOTP app for 2FA?
I can reproduce this issue with SMS verification. Seems like the API flow is outdated.
From testing I think TOTP app works.

I'm using TOTP for 2FA. Yeap, now it's working.
