# Authentication
|
|
0. Open a private chat with the bridge bot. Usually `@instagrambot:your.server` or `@facebookbot:your.server`
|
|
* If the bot doesn't accept the invite, see the [troubleshooting page](../../general/troubleshooting.md)
|
|
1. Send `login` to the bridge bot. The bot should ask you to paste cookies,
|
|
which will happen in step 6.
|
|
2. Open the website in a private window (facebook.com, messenger.com or
|
|
instagram.com, depending on what you configured the bridge to use).
|
|
3. Open browser devtools and go to the network tab.
|
|
Select "XHR" as the request type and search for `graphql`.
|
|
4. Log in normally.
|
|
5. Right click one of the requests in devtools,
|
|
choose "Copy" (Chrome) or "Copy Value" (Firefox), then "Copy as cURL".
|
|
* Any request with the correct cookies should work, graphql is just used
|
|
as an example that should be easy to find.
|
|
* Note for windows users: Make sure to select "Copy as cURL (POSIX)",
|
|
not "(Windows)", if given both options.
|
|
* You can also find the cookies manually and send them to the bot as a
|
|
simple key-value JSON object. The relevant cookies are:
|
|
* Instagram: `sessionid`, `csrftoken`, `mid`, `ig_did`, `ds_user_id`
|
|
* Facebook: `datr`, `c_user`, `sb`, `xs`
|
|
6. Paste the copied data to the bridge bot.
|
|
7. The bot should inform you of a successful login and sync recent chats.

|
**N.B.** In some cases, Meta may decide your account has suspicious activity
|
|
and block you until you do some tasks like completing a captcha, adding a phone
|
|
number or resetting your password. It is recommended to have two-factor
|
|
authentication enabled to reduce the risk of such blocks.
