My Blink integration was working fine until HA restarted overnight. Now I cannot re-authenticate because the 2FA PIN entry field never appears during setup.
My setup:
HA version: 2026.6
Blink account: UK, linked to Amazon UK
2FA method: SMS
Installation: Home Assistant OS
What happens:
Go to Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration → Blink
Enter credentials
Receive SMS code on phone
HA spins indefinitely — no PIN field ever appears
Eventually fails with "unexpected error"
What I've tried:
Deleting and re-adding the integration multiple times
Restarting HA
Stopping nightly HA restart
Using Developer Tools to find blink.send_pin — not available in 2026.6
Related issues:
Has anyone found a working workaround for UK/EU accounts with SMS 2FA?

Same issue here.
I saw this thread, but not sure how to actually apply the patch. Sounds like they don't intend on fixing it.

### The problem
When adding the official Blink integration on Home Assistant Co… re 2026.6.1, the login flow does not complete correctly.
What happens:
1. I add the Blink integration from the UI.
2. I enter the correct email address and password.
3. Blink sends multiple SMS 2FA codes.
4. Home Assistant never shows a stable prompt/window to enter the SMS code.
5. The config entry flips between setup/initializing and setup error, then ends in retry/failure.
This also causes repeated SMS messages from Blink because Home Assistant appears to retry the login flow automatically.
### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
core-2026.6.1
### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?
Unknown. The integration stopped working recently and could not be re-added successfully.
### What type of installation are you running?
Home Assistant OS
### Integration causing the issue
blink
### Link to integration documentation on our website
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/blink/
### Diagnostics information
No diagnostics download available because setup never completes.
### Example YAML snippet
_No response_
### Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?
System log repeatedly shows:
```text
Logger: blinkpy.auth
Login failed
Logger: blinkpy.blinkpy
Cannot setup Blink platform.
Logger: homeassistant.components.blink.coordinator
Unexpected error fetching blink data
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/update_coordinator.py", line 364, in __wrap_async_setup
await self._async_setup()
File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/blink/coordinator.py", line 58, in _async_setup
raise ConfigEntryNotReady
homeassistant.exceptions.ConfigEntryNotReady: None
```
During setup / retry, debug logging also showed:
```text
[blinkpy.auth] Attempting OAuth v2 login flow
```
### Additional information
- The Blink account credentials are valid. Login works directly with Blink outside Home Assistant.
- The issue is specifically that Home Assistant never provides a working/stable place to enter the SMS 2FA code, even though Blink sends the codes.
- After removing an older custom Blink component, the problem still occurs with the official core integration only.
- I also found issue #154486 (`Blink setup and login failing (Known API issue)`), which looks closely related, but I am still seeing this on `core-2026.6.1`.
If helpful, I can provide more exact timestamps from the failed setup attempts.
Same issue, any fixes yet?
