Login attempt or request with invalid authentication

Installation Home Assistant OS

I am getting the Login attempt or request with invalid autthentication from 192.168.1.254 which is my router. I have a Pace PLC 5268AC routher but have nothing in my config.yaml file that exposes the router address. I do have:

device_tracker:

  • platform: bluetooth_tracker

set and:

http:
ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem
ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem
base_url: https://budskiha.duckdns.org:8123

Secrets are defined in the file secrets.yaml

api_password: !secret http_password

set in by config.yaml file.

I just started to get the error message when I upgraded to 77.3 and supervisor 130.

Here are the error messages I get when I turn on DEBUG

One difference is that my api-password is the password I use to sign-on to hassio and is also the password to my router. Because of the way my router is set up I also have a different password for wifi access. I tried to set the api-password to the wifi router password but then Nodered stopped talking to hassio.

Any ideas.

are you using an iPhone? I have the same issue since 0.77.x, though for me every time my phone leaves wifi network and tries to connect via the HA app, it fails and results in warnings…
Also do you have any app/third party apps that try to connect to your HA instance using the legacy method (=just a password, no user)?

lolouk44 - Yes both my wife and I have Iphones. I am seeing this message when I am home or away. Don’t think I any apps that would be trying to contact my router except for tracker bluetooth. As you say just started to see this in 77.
