Old Apple iCloud passwords seem to be cached #295

Closed NR3Y closed 7 months ago

NR3Y commented 7 months ago

I recently changed my Apple iCloud password after I thought it was compromised.

I updated configuration.yaml with the new password and I thought that was it, until I upgraded HA Core and HA was restarted. After some time, I was wondering why some of my location-based automation were not executing, until I checked the iCloud3 log and found out it was reporting a log-on error because it was using my old password. I then had to go through the process of re configuring iCloud3 to use the new password - something I would have expected it to pick up from configuration.yaml on the restart.

Given that my automation silently failed, I would request that if iCloud3 can detect such an error condition, that it somehow set a boolean flag that can trigger a new automation to notify the user of a problem, rather than simply throwing an error message in the log and hoping it gets read sometime.

Thanks.

I assume you are running v2 if you are using the configuration.yaml file. iCloud3 v3 has been available as a prerelease for a while and all development is being done for v3. You might want to take a look at the docs for v3 here.

There are some alerts in the attribute settings for the device_tracker entity, along with many other new features. v3.0.3 is soon to be released and will be released as the latest version, not a prerelease version. One of the alerts is a 'Startup Error' that indicates there was a problem/issue/error encountered when iCloud3 was starting.

Watch for that version

I'm running 3.0.2. So, does that mean I can remove the entries in configuration.yaml? (That would be great, as there would be less clutter in there.)

Good news on 'start up error'. If I can trigger automation (to notify my phone and display a popup warning on my home dashboard) when it fails, that would be great.

Thanks

Dump everything in the configuration.yaml related to iCloud3. v3 is an integration and configured from the Devices & settings > iCloud3 > Configure. Or use the shortcut gear icon on the Event Log. The password is changed on the Configure Settings > iCloud Account and Mobile App screen.

I'm doing some changes to that screen to better handle switching iCloud Accounts to a new username/password. Once that is done, I'll release v3.0.3.

Perfect, thanks. I'll wait for V3.0.3
