core: Blink Integration being blocked
The problem
I just received this email from Amazon. Is there a way to update the integration for Blink to use a different authentication mechanism?
Dear Blink Customer, You are receiving this email because your account has used automation scripts that use an outdated login method to connect to your Blink account. With security and customer protection as our top priority, that login method is being deprecated. This means that any scripts you are using will no longer work as of 5/11. We encourage you to try out IFTTT, our supported 3rdparty integration, for more secure automation functionality. If you have other feature preferences or requests, you can always email product feedback to info@blinkforhome.com for consideration. Thank you, Team Blink

FYI, I’ve just patched PR 35396 into my local build and everything seems to be working OK still. Now I guess we wait to see what happens on Monday…
@fronzbot thanks so much for doing this.
I just gave this a shot. I was in group 2; after I ran
blink.start(), I got the expected text.I received an email with subject
Verify New Device Login. The device name was*|DEVICENAME|*.It took a few seconds, but when the python prompt came back I was able to see everything as normal running both
blink.syncandblink.cameras.So, everything looked good to me, though I suppose I’m not in the 2FA group either.
