Describe your issue

I was having the same issue, but I just logged in Via web and mobile, get a message that there were some suspicious logins, I clicked that everything was Ok, after that I try running the app again and it works just good.

Same here, no problem after web interaction.
Issue should be closed

For normal challenges (like "we noticed automated behavior" etc), you can bypass like

if (loginResult.NeedsChallenge)
{
    await api.AcceptChallengeAsync();
}

But if account got suspended or locked, it won't work.

Still getting this issue. Even when using this code below.

if (loginResult.NeedsChallenge)
{
await api.AcceptChallengeAsync();
}

Error = User Must Be authenticated.

I log into the instagram account and click on (This was Me). After I can login on the browser. But the app will still not work. Images wont upload to instagram.
