When I installed HA about 2 months ago, my blink account authenticated and worked great. I’ve recently updated to the latest version of HA and now I keep getting Authentication Failed. Is this a bug or a setting I need to adjust?
Thank you.
PS - I’m running HA inside Virtual Box on Linux 20.4 using the virtual box download from homeassistant.

Is this due to a change in the cloud service, perhaps?
I’m experiencing the same issue.

Yes, there is a fix, but as far as I know, it has not yet been released in a Home Assistant update.
Is anyone ever going to fix the Blink failed authorization in the integration.

It’s been merged. It should be in the next update.

I’m glad it is being addressed.
The descriptions aren’t that clear but I assume it is the cause of this, when the username and password provided are guaranteed the right one.
