is there anyway to start imap again?
I got imap working by setting an ‘App password’ in the gmail account used for 2fa and signed in with that as tfa_password.

i dont think it’s a problem with gmail. It doenst even ask for password. When i check my mail i got no 2fa mail from arlo.
I checked my emails now and I have not had an email since June 4th.
But after the change, the email came again. I do not get the logic in it, but it was resolved anyway. Maybe it was a coincidence in my case.
AArlo is intermittently working this month, anyone know why? I got emails and it was working then it stopped for a week, then started up again, now not working again. Nothing changed at all so is something going on with arlo itself?
Since yesterday I have the problem with Arlo again.
I’ve been writing as above for a year now
aarlo:
tfa_source: push
tfa_type: PUSH
in the configuration.
I don´t change anything on the configuration.
Now I got this errors:
aarlo Component Setup
Error: 2fa startAuth failed
If error persists you might need to change config and restart.
Invalid config
The following integrations and platforms could not be set up:
aarlo (Show logs)
aarlo.sensor (Show logs)

Please check your config and logs.

I’ve restarted HA several times now. Unfortunately without success.
What I just noticed is that the push message for authentication does not arrive at all.
I have read something about to downgrade the Arlo Hacs integration from v0.7.4b15 to v0.7.4b12. But how I can downgrade the Hacs integration?
Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I can do?
I have now deleted the HACS integration and installed the older version v0.7.4b12. Then I received the push message to register and now it’s working again.
I can confirm this - I had updated to v0.7.4b15 and the push message was not working. A downgrade to v0.7.4b12 fixed it immediately with the same configuration.
I was on 7.16 which wasn’t working and then I went down to 7.4b12 and still not receiving 2fa. 
Upgraded y’day to aarlo version v0.7.4b17, and the aarlo integration stopped working. Adding debug to the logging i guess it’s Cloudflare blocking the authorisation request. See message below from home assistant logfile [pyaarlo] module:
‘This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.’
As a resolution it says to contact the site-owner - but that doesn’t sound like a real option :-). So i guess for now the integration is just not working anymore.
can you please explain the steps, as Arlo stopped work for me
- click under Hacs - Integration - Arlo Camera Support - click on the three dots - remove
- Search under Hacs Arlo Camera Support - click Download - here it is important to select the version
v0.7.4b12 to take
So it worked for me again. I’ve been skipping all updates ever since

you can’t go back that far only to v0.7.4b14. With that still having the same issue
Indeed same experience - with rollback. I reached out to support of Arlo, with the Cloudflare info in the log (it says i’m blocked by Cloudflare). Just curious to see how they respond.

this is the reply of Arlo:
‘We advise you to contact Cloudflare regarding the issue. Arlo as a company is not officially partnered with Home Assistant. We offer integration with HomeKit, Google Assistant, Alexa, Smartthings and IFTTTs. All outside applications and issues with them must be solved by their support.’
Not so useful…in the mean time i changed my setup and don’t use the Arlo cameras for triggering automations in HA anymore.
that sucks, I love my arlo cameras
Try create new user accout for HA in Arlo. That fixed the issue for me
I have done that 4 times and it didn’t work
Somehow, i am not able to make the Aarlo integration work.
I am using my @me.com (apple) mail adress to log in to Aarlo.
the error i get is
2024-01-11 14:54:24.771 ERROR (SyncWorker_3) [pyaarlo] imap connection failedb’[AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication Failed’

My config is the following
aarlo:
host: https://my.arlo.com
username: !mail address!
password: !password!refresh_devices_every: 2
tfa_source: imap
tfa_type: email
tfa_host: imap.mail.me.com
tfa_username: !mail address!
tfa_password: !password!
i am certain my mail adress and password are correct.
i am not certain about the imap, however this is what i can find. any support is welcome
