Instagram API - Instasharper giving 'challenge_required' error on login

Question

I have been using the Instagram API library Instasharper successfully over the last few months to help automate a few Instagram tasks for me.

Using a very similar approach to the below to get logged in.

However about a week ago this has suddenly stopped working, where it is now giving me an error of 'challenge_required'on login.

Has anyone any ideas why this has started to happen?
