Alexa Media Player - OTP Confirmation

Hi All

I am trying to setup Alexa Media Player with my HA. Below are the steps I followed

  • Downloaded HACS using “wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash -”
  • Go to Settings-> Devices & Services → Add Integration
  • Find Alexa Media Player
  • Fill in the form as per the instructions over here
  • In the end I get below popup. But I never receive OTP on my phone. If I click submit anyway it takes me to a URL and my amazon login fails over there.

I wold highly appreciate any help.

Thanks
Please note, I do have 2FA enabled on my amazon account. My preferred method is “Phone (Sent by text message)”.

Below are the versions I am using

  • Core 2024.9.1
  • Supervisor 2024.09.1
  • Operating System 11.5
  • Frontend 20240906.0

Same here…

Had the same issue, this workaround fixed the login loop issue: [Solved] Installation keeps looping the login page · Issue #2517 · alandtse/alexa_media_player · GitHub

Thanks a lot it worked. I had to change the steps little bit. Here is what worked for me

  • Downloaded HACS using “wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash -”
  • Go to Settings-> Devices & Services → Add Integration
  • Find Alexa Media Player
  • Fill in the form
  • I got redirected to amazon login page
  • I selected “Create new account”, entered random details, click ok
  • Amazon responded that I already have an account
  • Now I selected “Sign in Already a customer?”, entered user name and password
  • got the OTP window, but OPT was expired
  • I opened a private browser window, tried to log into my amazon account, it sent me an OTP. I used that OTP in my first window.
  • Login succeed and I see Alexa integration

Thanks

That’s the process currently required since Amazon changed the login screen sequencing from two to three!

The problem is the new three page login sequence with email, then password, then 2SV
AMP was programmed to do the callback after two pages (the way the Amazon login used to be) but gets an “unsuccessful” response after only two pages since the login sequence did not finish all three pages and AMP returns you to the previous (first) page to try again. So…

At this screen, select the first option

Enter “x x” for First and last name and click CREATE YOUR AMAZON ACCOUNT

When that fails, select Sign in Already a customer?

The page then changes to show both email & password on the same page. (which is still the first page in the callback sequence)

Now you can select SIGN IN which then proceeds to the 2nd page which is Two-Step Verification

and the callback to HA will then occur where it will test if your email, password & OTP login was successful or not. If not, it sends you back to the first page in Amazon’s new 3 page sequence.
