I updated to the latest core today: 2024.12.1, and then HA wanted me to reconfigure the BMW Connected Drive Integration as it’s showing this error: Failed to set up: Login requires captcha validation.
I am able to reconfigure with a new Captcha code (Rest of the world), but as soon as it is accepted, the integration restarts and flags up the same issue “Failed to set up: Login requires captcha validation” almost instantly.
Anyone else having a similar issue or know how to fix it?
I started having the same issue today, but I updated to 2024.12.1 last week so I don’t think the issue is related to the version.
Ah okay at least it’s like not the core update then, cheers for the heads up.
I am having the same issue as of Dec 10, 2024, I updated to 2024.12.1 maybe 2 days ago and it just happened today. The entities because Unavailable so I reloaded and then it gave me the captcha error that someone already mentioned. When I reconfigured the integration using the recaptcha it went back to the error.
I’m seeing problems also with the BMW app. Commands are going through but the app doesn’t show the statuses (battery %, AC, etc) correctly.
Edit. Just tried again after an hour or so and it started working again. Maybe it was a temporary problem in the server.
I can confirm it works here now too.
Tried again just now and all working again, thanks for the heads up all 
Can someone tell me how to find the captcha code.
I get this question in homeassistant recently and cannot find this code anywhere again 
This is for Europe
Got the same problem I can’t find the code
There should be a link in the pop up which takes you to the captcha.
there is no link, there is no pop up
I can insert my un en pw on the BMW site, i can insert my un en pw in homeassistant and then i have a screen with the request for a captcha but no link in that screen …
So if you have a screen with a link or you know a link …
please tell us
Beta?
What version of HA are you running? Should be a fix for this in 2024.12.
No idea how you are getting the Beta version though. Have you tried removing the integration and adding it? Is the BMW app working? Finally, what does the logs say?
i have found what the issue was.
In the past, I have installed this BMW integration via HACS.
It was still in there and so this beta version did not give this link.
I deleted the app in HACSand tried again via the normal way and now I do get the captcha code/link.
The problem seems to be back.
I enter the credentials and the the CAPTCHA and after 5 seconds it comes with the same error.
Are you also using the Beta? I am on 2025.2.1 and I have no issues.
No. I am on the stable version and the BMW integration is the core one, not the former one from HACS.
In the log I see two errors and one warning:
