Question

Hi! How to login in account by email? I am unable to do it I am getting 400 every time, but with the same credentials I can login using web and phone apps

Code

import { IgApiClient } from 'instagram-private-api';

const email = '[email protected]';
const ig = new IgApiClient();
ig.state.generateDevice(email);
(async () => {
  await ig.simulate.preLoginFlow();
  const loggedInUser = await ig.account.login(email, 'password');
  process.nextTick(async () => await ig.simulate.postLoginFlow());
})();

Error and Output
