Repeated 2FA sign in requests for iCloud

[maciekish]

The problem

I'm suddenly getting a lot of sign in requests on my phone and watch. If i shut down HA, they stop. As soon as i restart it i get them again. The integration appears to still be working though! I set it up about two months ago, so i thought the cookie expired but there is no notification in HA to reauthenticate. I even tried removing the cookie manually, and even logging in to a new session on my PC and transferring that cookie. Also tried removing the integration, re-adding it and re-authenticated with SMS. Still getting the sign in requests. Is there a bug perhaps?

Hey there @Quentame, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (icloud) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

Can someone please have a look at this? Its unusable with the constant sign in request pop-ups :(

[ohadbenita]

@maciekish Did you overcome this ?

[Quentame]

@maciekish The easy workaround is to remove the integration and re add it.

HA should pop a notification when you need to authenticate again, but not now.

I've tried deleting and re-adding but I still get the persistent authentication notices on my iPhone.

Having the same issue. I installed HA and the iCloud integration back in Jan '20 and it was working great until just a few days ago - probably associated with a recent update. I'm getting two 2FA notifications (about 10 seconds apart from each other) every 30 minutes on my main iCloud device. I removed the integration and reinstalled. Got the SMS authentication and while the integration is working, but the 2FA requests are continuing. I'm removing the integration for now - hopefully this will be resolved soon. Thanks!

Also reporting the same issue, seems to have started happening over the last couple of weeks. This integration is great, but those notifications are super-annoying! :(

I've been seeing this for days as well. I just removed and re-added it and I'm still getting the prompts as well.

This is super annoying. I get two notifications back to back on each and every of my devices every hour. What's causing this?

[damiano75]

Yesterday I started to see this issue, removed and re-added the integration but I still have the issue, I've been using this integration for a long time...maybe something on Apple side?

Home Assistant 0.112.4
HassOS 4.11
Supervisor 228

Update:
it seems a complete reboot of my Rpi fixed the issue

[martymarty004]

It started happening to me too, I tried restarting the host, we'll see.
(If you have this problem and you don't know if it's HA, you can make an easy test by calling the icloud.update service)

[martymarty004]

A simple restart didn't work, so I removed the integration and the icloud folder in Config/ (through Samba) and re-added it. I hope this will fix it

[martymarty004]

It did not
