Hello, since creating a specific password for an application, I have been receiving regular error messages in the Home Assistant log. A copy of the message is attached.

Hi,

I have the same issue ... using 2024.7.2, Supervisor 2024.06.2, OS 12.4, Frontend 20240710.0. When reconfiguring icloud integration and using in-app password, the verification code is being requested, but apple doesn't generate a code. This leave me without the posibility to use the integration.

If you guys need further logs please let me know and i can provide if needed.

Thanks, Razvan

I was also experiencing the same issue. When entering an app-specific password it would prompt for a 2fa code but no request was either sent to Apple or at least none was presented on my devices as one would normally expect.

Troubleshooting Done:

1. I went in and deleted both the integration and icloud folder in .storage, per docs troubleshooting section and previous experience with this integration.
2. After complecting the above steps, I went to re-add the integration.

Error occurred during auth flow:

• When attempting to re-auth app-specific passwords do not work for login as expected.

Ex:

Error from logs:

2024-07-16 23:35:07.534 ERROR (SyncWorker_59) [pyicloud.base] Missing apple_id field
2024-07-16 23:35:07.534 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.icloud.config_flow] Error logging into iCloud service: ('Invalid authentication token.', PyiCloudAPIResponseException('Missing apple_id field'))

At this time the integration is completely unusable as I cannot set it back up.

Same issue here.

[rightsaidfred99]

never worked for me

[ciddi89]

Same problem for me and some other users as reported by @rake8288

I get the same with an app specific password. Makes the integration useless.

Also have this issue. Using app specific password and it worked for a day or so, and now it's asking for the 2fa code.

I even went into Settings App > (my name) > Sign-in & Security > Two-Factor Authentication > Get Verification Code on my iPhone and tried that code which didn't work.

At the moment the integration is useless.

same, same... simply will not authenticate any longer

[MrSkutt]

Same problem here.

[drudge]

Same issue here, still prompted for iCloud verification code when using App-specific password, which Apple doesn't send.

[dwwkelly]

Any updates on this? I'm having the same issues.

[gabefortin]

I'm having the same issue. Any progress on a resolution?

[HerveG45]

Bonjour,

Aujourd'hui, plus moyen de s'authentifier pour ajouter l'intégration iCloud avec le mot de passe du compte Apple, message d'erreur : unknown error occurred. Ne fonctionne pas avec un mot de passe spécifique pour applications.

Une solution ?
