Code

Add a meaningful section of your code here. If you are using TypeScript replace js with typescript.

      const { username, totp_two_factor_on, two_factor_identifier } = err.response.body.two_factor_info;

      // decide which method to use
      const verificationMethod = totp_two_factor_on ? '0' : '1'; // default to 1 for SMS

      const { code } = await inquirer.prompt([
        {
          type: 'input',

@Nerixyz the response for the POST request to /api/v1/accounts/get_prefill_candidates/ is (HTML) Instagram.com’s login page. This only happens on production server. Local is fine.
