Having trouble setting up with TFA

[kierankavanagh]

What ever method of 2fA I use whether its email or push the authentication fails

You need to create an application password for aarlo : https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833

then use this password in place of you google account password

I have struggled with this over the last few days and this is what I've found. I'm still new, so I'm still learning. I setup Arlo to use a gmail account for my arlo account for HomeAssistant. So my config is: aarlo: username: {this is my Arlo gmail account for HA} password: {this is the password for the Arlo gmail account for HA} tfa_source: imap tfa_type: email tfa_host: 'imap.gmail.com:993' tfa_username: {this is my Arlo gmail account for HA} tfa_password: {this is the app password for that gmail account}

The instructions talk about setting up an app password for a gmail account (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en). But it doesn't say to use it for the 2FA pw, not for the regular pw. Setting up the app pw as only the 2fa pw worked for me. Note tho - I am still consistently experiencing issue #554 - Cloudflair issue. The logs show that auth fails 3 times then works the 4th. Hopefully, we'll figure out why.

Again, I'm a newby, but hopefully that helps.

then use this password in place of you google account password for tfa_password

my config, for information :

username: !secret arlo_username password: !secret arlo_password tfa_host: 'imap.gmail.com' tfa_username: !secret arlo_tfa_username tfa_password: !secret arlo_tfa_password refresh_devices_every: 1 stream_timeout: 120 reconnect_every: 90 stream_snapshot_stop: 0 save_media_to: "/config/www/arlo/${Y}/${m}/${d}/${T}"
