Instagram login page changed?

[sunnypatel165]

Until 2 hours ago I was using this and when I executed this now, the script failed and on taking a quick look - I think Instagram login page has changed in some way.
It doesn't seem to have the ID/Password login form by default!

This is what I see:

Is this a change on insta site? can we accommodate this in some way?
Are they mandating "login via Facebook" - that sucks! 🤕

@i checked several browsers and locale settings, but couldn't get this page...

I still have the signup form with the little login link on the bottom of the page.

[sunnypatel165]

@timgrossmann - probably they're rolling out in phases, maybe AB testing.
If at all they change it permanently, we'll have to figure out a way around this.

[timgrossmann]

@sunnypatel165 I'm not really sure if they will remove the standard login mechanism completely...
But yes, we'll see and adapt once this becomes a big problem.

Owkay - not sure if it's already time to close this - the issue still remains, maybe for a fewer number of people, but it does!

@sunnypatel165 Keeping every single issue open will flood the issues section and make it very hard to find anything or keep track of things.

I think this will get important if some people (more than one) faces this problem.

I'm seeing this issue also.

I may be having the same issue:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//footer[@class='_oofbn']/div[@class='_mhrsk _pcuq6']/nav[@class='_p1gbi']/ul[@class='_fh0f2']/li[@class='_fw3ds'][10]/span[@class='_17z9g']/select[@class='_nif11']/option[text()='English']"}

When calling session.login. This may also have something to do with an issue I was having with likes actually registering in IG. Detailed in #343

[timgrossmann]

@RobertHosking please do a git pull this issue should be covered by #347

[scopalaffairs]

@scopalaffairs Did you reboot your system?

[scopalaffairs]

@timgrossmann thanks, worked beautifully – this solved my issue

[sunnypatel165]

Good to close I think @timgrossmann - works fine again!
