All that you need is generated automatically, you can save it through dump_settings and use it in the future through load_settings

You can change IP, device, etc:

Read about dump_settings and load_settings here https://adw0rd.github.io/instagrapi/usage-guide/interactions.html (load/dump settings)

I didn't understand the question
you don't need to generate it yourself

Isn't that suspicious in perspective of instagram if suddenly I'm logging in with complete different settings than usual? What if I never owned an android device and use instagram via web browser (chrome,firefox) on a ubuntu desktop? #1466
