LR/Instagram plugin won't let me login

I'm having a similar problem as many. I can login to IG using the same credentials that won't work within LR  using the LR/Instagram plugin. I'm on the latest version of MAC Mojave and know others than can log in using this plugin on the same OS.

For at least a year, the LR/Instagram plugin has stopped working.  The notice on its web site says:

At about the same time, Facebook (which owns Instagram) explicitly disallowed desktop apps from uploading photos. Instagram never announced a formal policy change, but it changed its undocumented protocols, and evidently the plugin author wasn't able to reverse engineer the new protocols.

 

If you search this forum, you'll find posts about how people use a browser or browser-like app to upload photos to Instagram from their desktop.

    1. Look at the Plugin, proably via Plugin Manager, Do you see any notices about issues, do you see a notice about sn update. What is the plugin version? Compare to what is available at Instagram

    ahhh, when I go to Instagram, select Download, a nasty note about a protocol being changed and plugin not working. Issue at Instagram??
