Can jinsta run on a Mac?

[sharmanshah]

I've installed nodejs but everytime I run jinsta I'm asked to enter sms / email code. After entering the code, I get an error. I would appreciate it if someone can share documentation or post a video on how to install and run jinsta on a Mac. Thanks in advance.

Here's the error:

I had the same issue - with the update & !! disabling 2factor authentication it now works fine :-)

@die-tueftelei on my phone, I checked Settings>Security>Two-factor authentication but it already seems to be off and it's asking me to set up Two-factor authentication. Can you guide me how you managed to disable it?

Exactly there in the app I had activated it previously.. As I found no other possibility I remembered I activated that feature 2 month before.. Now my login issues with jinsta are solved..

It's been over a month now and I'm still unable to login. My Two-factor authentication is switched off.

1. Should 2FA be on or off?
2. If it's supposed to be on, should 2FA be set to 'Text message' or 'Authentication app'?
