Current Behavior

When I try to type login myusername mypassword, I get in return as a answer from the bot: Unhandled error while handling command:

Possible Solution

Googling this exact error, I got a few interesting responses:

• Python - Attempt to decode JSON with unexpected mimetype
• JSON.parse() does not work when content-type is set to application/json

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an account with 2-FA enabled
2. Fail to properly login
3. Deactivate 2-FA
4. Try to log-in again

Environment

• Docker installation (for mautrix-instagram)
• Caddy reverse-proxy (for Matrix bridges)
• Traefik reverse-proxy (for the Matrix synapse)

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Even after deactivating, excluding the container, resetting the database and ensuring everything was connected, I still face a similar issue while logging in:

File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/aiohttp/client_reqrep.py", line 1097, in json
    raise ContentTypeError(
aiohttp.client_exceptions.ContentTypeError: 0, message='Attempt to decode JSON with unexpected mimetype: text/html; charset=utf-8', url=URL('https://i.instagram.com/accounts/login/')

Which makes me suspect it may have something to do with my account being linked to my facebook account to OAuth, although I have both username and password through Instagram's interface. I'm not sure what to try next.
