I upgraded to 0.113.1 and the Blink integration tries to install but after entering my user name and password I don’t receive an email from Blink.
I tried hitting submit with a blank pin but this fails.
If I sign out of the Blink app and back in again l get an email with a PIN within seconds.
Any suggestions why I’m not getting an email sent when I try to login to Blink via the HA integration install process?
Thanks
See here: Blink Integration stopped working and can't login
I suspect that what I say there is correct. If 2FA is enabled on your app, your account is likely forced to use the 2FA endpoint (the one in HA right now is a stop-gap that doesn’t actually email a pin, just a weird “verify” button in the email).
My issue is that I don’t even get an email from Blink with a PIN or with just the VERIFY button when I attempt to install the Blink integration.
My email and password are accepted and I see the 2FA window but as I don’t receive any email at all I can’t proceed either with a PIN or blanks.
As I said previously, when I log in via the app I do receive an email with a PIN within seconds.
I’m trying to understand why I don’t get any email at all when installing the Blink integration.
As explained in the link (maybe not very well), the integration currently uses an old login endpoint and a newer one was recently discovered and implemented but it’s taken me a bit to get those changes into home assistant. My guess is that some accounts have been migrated over to only accept the new endpoint and the old one has been shut off for them, which explains the intermittent behavior (works for some, not others)
Today the integration stopped again to work.
I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago.
This was solved by 0.113 version.
Today I got again this erroe

More likely than not, your’re just running into a temporary connection issue. That specific traceback will be caught in a future version of the integration (currently waiting for review prior to merging). It should resolve itself and you should still have access to your cameras over time. If you don’t and it seems like they never update, let me know.
You were right. I updated HA to 1.13.2 restarted and worked again.
Thanks 
@fronzbot I said ok too early.
I mean. The integration is loaded in HA, but doesn’t work the alarm panel.
If I try to arm the cameras, i get this error
Fallita chiamata a servizio alarm_control_panel/alarm_arm_away . Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
Fallita chiamata a servizio means failed call to service.
In the log I find too

Hi @fronzbot, I observed this issue this morning and thought of re integrating, so deleted the integration. Since then I’m unable to interested Blink back and it’s giving me “Invalid Credentials” error message.
Seeing below in the logs.

I’m getting fed up to the point of seeing if I can hack the camera to not use blinks servers…
Yeah, the old login endpoint was just shut down. Fix is in progress.
Here’s another thread on the forum about this topic: Blink Integration stopped working and can't login
An open issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/38291
My PR fixing the issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/38027
+1 on the invalid authentication piece.
@fronzbot, just want to take a few to thank you for your efforts in keeping this integration up and running. Cheers from 
.
Back online again following the 0.114.0 update. Immediately received a PIN, popped it into the Hassio notification for Blink and my cameras are back 
Nice work (again) @fronzbot - hope Blink leave the API alone now!
Since doing the verification once in .114, I keep getting emails saying I need to confirm again but HA integration isn’t prompting anymore for the code and thinks everything is fine.
Any way to tell the integration to start the process over without removing and re-adding or something “nuke it from orbit” level of response? Haha.
Same here. The integration is working fine but I’m getting 6 or 7 emails from Blink with a new MFA code every day now. Did you manage to fix yours?
Me too. 1-2 emails a day, but everything appears to be working fine.
Nope, just continuous annoying emails, but I think the integration is working.
Waiting for the other shoe to drop on that, it’ll probably die at some arbitrary cutoff date without confirming again, but I already gave up on Blink as my long term camera solution anyway… just haven’t had time to install something that gets me away from their stupidity.
LOL! 
It’s too bad, Blink had promise as a good pair with HA, once upon a time…
I’m getting the same thing here in the UK (if location makes any difference). A number of “Verify Device Login” emails each day each with a new verification pin. I’m ignoring these emails however and the integration does appear to still be working.
In the breaking changes for 0.114 it says:
Due to the new 2FA endpoint, the YAML configuration is no longer supported.
In addition, due to some API changes, if you are upgrading from a previous version, you will need to navigate to the integration page at startup and re-configure Blink.
Your username and password will be imported, but you need to submit a 2FA token (emailed to you by Blink) in order to continue setting up the integration.
I deleted my Blink integration and then re-added it. Seems to have stopped all the emails now.
EDIT: Emails started up again after 24 hours 
24hr token email is a known issue. It can be ignored for now. Something with the way were handling token refreshed, but I don’t know if an alternative method that avoids generating a new email
EDIT- an open issue on the ha core repo already exists as well, and has for some time: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/38717
