Installation

To install the module, use npm:

npm install instagram-password-encryption

Function: encryptPassword

The encryptPassword function encrypts a given password using a combination of provided parameters and internal logic.

Syntax

encryptPassword(password, [version], [keyID], [publicKey])

Parameters

• password (String): The password to be encrypted.
• version (String): The version of the encryption algorithm, default is 10.
• keyID (String): The key identifier, default is 143.
• publicKey (String): The public key used for encryption, default is f219393f2381eab7abd6d20130bfa274cc4ffc8b67988da60abeffc88c1b9b15.

Returns

A Promise that resolves to the encrypted password string.

Description

The encryptPassword function uses AES-GCM for encryption. It involves several steps including key generation, encryption, and formatting the result. The function accepts a password and optional parameters for version, keyID, and publicKey. The version, keyID, and publicKey are subject to change and can typically be found on Instagram's login page's source code during updates.

Example Usage

const { encryptPassword } = require('instagram-password-encryption');

encryptPassword('your-password-here').then(encryptedPassword => {
    console.log(encryptedPassword);
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
});

Note

The provided default values for version, keyID, and publicKey are examples. In a real-world scenario, you should retrieve the current values from Instagram's login page, as they may change periodically.
