It was working fine and at some point in the last couple of months (when I last left the house at the same time as my wife!!) it’s stopped…  
I know they introduced some additional security recently (2FA) so can only assume that something has now blocked the auth

Edit. Related home assistant thread

Any news about the login problem? The login in app settings gives still invalid credentials error.

Login in BlinkApp is fine with this User/PW.  
The use of camera devices is not possible since some weeks.

+1

As far as I can tell it’s related to the mandatory 2FA they introduced

Doesn’t appear to be… Is this a beta version you reference? Because /test gives me nothing

And invalid login credentials appears imho way before it would have time to authorise and no SMS is received…

Not being funny but there are at least 6 or 7 reports of this issue above yet people still seem belligerent that there is no issue

I am experiencing the same issue, I was just pointing out that the 2FA introduced by Blink a year ago was also implemented by Obelix in the latest version that we currently have in the store.

Still the same problem here. If I try to login in the app, I get the “Invalid login credentials” message:

Thanks, Stèphan, for the new version. It accepts Username and password, then asks for Pincode again (this is new) BUT then it says „Invalid Pincode“. Is there anything I‘m doing wrong?

I have logged out of my Phone-App, logged in again with the data stored in my wallet, pincode is sent and the app works. Then I did it the same way with the blink-app in homey, but…

Strange, Does anyone have Teamviewer? To see together what exactly the problem is? We also need NodeJS and HomeySDK.

Installed! And! Works! The credentials are saved and all my cameras are found. I can’t make a snapshot (but I don’t need that function). I can switch them on and off - that is what I want. So I am happy again.Thanks very much, Stéphane!!!
