Lately Instagram shows the user a PopUp to Accept Cookies.
InstaPy doesn't handle that yet, so every LogIn fails.

I fixed it myself so if you need it too, just copy my Code:

  1. Find your Python Instapy directory. (For me it is somewhere in C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Packages\)
  2. Open the instapy directory and find login_util.py
  3. Go to the line right befor the Login (For me thats around line 273)
  4. Copy following Code in there
#Check if Cookie PopUp is visible
    try:
        cookie_elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//button[text()='Accept']")
    except:
        cookie_elem = None

    if cookie_elem is not None:
        cookie_elem.click()

If this is too much for you, just download my attached file and put it in your instapy directory.
login_util.zip
