Two factor authentication about itsagramlive

[harrypython]

All the authentication code is from LevPasha/Instagram-API-python and looks like they had the support to 2FA.

What kind of 2FA are you using? Text message or Authentication App?

Can you send your code and output?

sorry, which code and output?
do you mean the output which comes when trying to start broadcast with 2FA account?

Yes, and how you trying to create the live

Request return 404 error!
Login success!

After some (a lot?) of test the solution I found is:

1. desactive the two factor
2. log normally
3. active the two factor again

Please let me know if this work for you.

Hi,
You mean it's not possible or easy to integrate 2FA?
The code is really working well for my account, so disabling/enabling is not a big deal for me.
But there is an account which we use a group of people as admins, when I disable/enable 2FA for that account every users device loses registration and needs new registration sms again.
Thanks anyway for looking.

One more question,
when you activate 2FA, instagram sends also single use pre-defined codes for later use. Is it possible to use them in the code for 2FA login?

[harrypython]

Hey @mkkyah , update to 0.2 and try again the 2FA by SMS.
I did a lot of changes last night 😄

[mkkyah]

@harrypython It's working and working really well. Although I didn't understand how it's authenticating, its directly connecting with success. Nothing asked, no sms.

[harrypython]

I didn't understand how it's authenticating

After logging in for the first time Instagram registers the script as a trusted "device" and will no longer require 2FA until you change your password.

Nothing asked, no sms.

The 0.2 version now support 2FA by SMS.

I still need some help with 2FA by TOTP.

Hi again,
I'm testing the 2FA with another ig account, it's asking a sms code, but asking it every time. Not registering the script as trusted for that account.
my other account is trusted and weirdly deactivating/activating 2FA is not changing that trusted device situation.
