Exception: Invalid authentication data

[NicoCaldo]

I've 2 C210 correctly linked to a single account and to the WiFi network.

One of them, suddenly, because I've wrongly left the auto update option ON, automatically updated its firmware

Now, for some reason, even if I'm using admin as a user, I've having the issue

File "/home/lab/dashboardlab/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pytapo/__init__.py", line 269, in refreshStok
    raise Exception("Invalid authentication data")
Exception: Invalid authentication data

The C210 that still works

• v. firmware 1.3.7

The C210 that has the Invalid authentication data issue

• v. firmware 1.3.9 Build 231019 Rel.31045n(4555)

pytapo is updated to the latest version. IP is correct as I'm able to see it via rstp

It seems it was introduced here https://github.com/JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control/issues/436

Factory reset camera / readd to tapo app, there is a bug in camera for some users where it does not properly load the new password hash. And use the latest version of pytapo.

On my C110 (FW: 1.3.9) the solution was: simple upgrade to the latest pytapo (in the virt env):

Before:
