I recently updated to 78.0 and now when I use the IOS app, I get the following message which has the IP address of my device at the end:
WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.auth] You need to use a bearer token to access /api/ios/identify from WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.ban] Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from
I’ve noticed this seem to happen mostly when the device is away from home and/or changed from one IP address to another (like if I turn on the VPN on my phone, it will trigger the warring)
I’ve tried to uninstall/reinstall the app & it still persists.
I have a similar error with Air Purifier, but it works, and I can control it and automations work well, so I have no idea what does it mean.

In a way, I’m glad someone else has this error because I was beginning to think I was the only one!
If its any help I have replaced the api_password in the http: section of the config.yaml file and it seems to fix the issue (not sure if this is the right thing to do but it seems to stop the error messages).
For me, I think its ISO or device tracker related. Looking at the logs it has triggered the error when the IOS app wasn’t opened or activated by myself (but the statue would have changed from home to not_home).
