Alexa media player not using oauth

[glesage]

I am getting a seemingly innocuous log warning “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/alexapy/alexalogin.py (WARNING) No access token found; falling back to credential login instead of oauth” for some time, not sure when it started.

I installed “Alexa smart home skill” https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/alexa.smart_home/ about 18 months ago, and all Alexa home assistant functions have been working fine since then. About 6 months ago I added 2FA to the Alexa media player integration when prompted for login.
I have removed and reinstalled Alexa media player integration, rechecked my Alexa smart home client id and client secret are the same as shown on my aws lambda page and removed then reenabled the custom Alexa app without effect on log warning. Does anyone have idea what might be wrong. Since everything is working, I am not inclined to try to fix anything

Its not an issue per se, but here was my situation:

Echo Devices (Alexa) as Media Player - Testers Needed

This warning will go away once you’ve completed a new log in using the latest version. If it doesn’t on a complete relogin then there’s something wrong with the oauth I need to fix. If we can’t establish oauth, then we are using the old cookie mechanism with the reauthentication issues people were complaining about. In theory using oauth should avoid that but that’s just a guess. [alexa reinstall]

I’m getting the same error. Reinstalling the entire plug-in didn’t help. Nor did deleting the accounts, and reloading.

Same here as well. Maybe we should open an issue? I would do it but don’t really know how,lol

[quadhammer]

I don’t either. Looks like it’s in the lap of the gods.

Anyone ever figure out how to enable oauth? I am being told my echo’s status are not updating because I dont have oauth enabled.

Having the same problem, followed the instructions, got the long code number from Amazon, entered it, works for 5 days the asks to Authenticate again.

I had the same situation. It’s basically turning on 2FA on the Amazon page. Two-Step Verification (2SV) Settings they call it. Once you have that turned on, you delete the current integration, and any reference to it in configuration.yaml, and reinstall it. There is a guide on the integration page.

Can anyone tell me how to overcome? I have over 1000 errors daily. A selection tagged below.
I have gone to great extent over the past few months with no reply.
Including a completely new install reinstalling each integration.
Can anyone please help?

Sounds like you haven’t enabled the 2FA login.

Sounds like you haven’t enabled the 2FA login.

I have been chasing this issue longer that I can remember. Till now, no one has offered any help.
I have tried everything I can think of… Including deleting everything and re-install. This is what I call my brute-force method (Start Over). the interesting thing, and maybe you can clarify… F2A… I have about 5 various passwords for Amazon… to include what I refer to as F2A being an app on my cell phone called authy in which the code is changed every 30 seconds… The last round was painful!

@007DJ

Open the Developers console page Amazon Sign-In Review the steps in edit mode updating keys

But I got it operational once again, and yes, the

is back taking my log hostage such that I rarely can seek out the important stuff…
Thoughts?

I used: GitHub - Authenticator-Extension/Authenticator: Authenticator generates 2-Step Verification codes in your browser. if that is of any help.

all I can say was I was getting the exact error that you are experiencing, until I turned on 2SV on the Amazon web page, and then reloaded they Alexa media player integration:

Well… I will say that is different. I looked at the link and have no idea what I am supposed
to do… Install it somehow in HA?

Till now the only thing I have is S2A with Amazon requires a code from my authy app… Every time I purchase or basically transact in any way requires that code…

Any stepped guidance would be helpful… Did I understand you have to delete everything and start over at installing again with HACS, then installation, then do the skills again?
… BTW… Thank you for taking the time. I am just so confused…

Just checking to see if you are still available to assist. I have been reading various documentation and still super confused with the Configuration · custom-components/alexa_media_player Wiki · GitHub direction Step 4.
Enter the value from Step 3 I can not seem to find where I enter that value. Can you still assist?
