Question

I finally turned 2FA on for my ring account. Easy enough to get set up, signed in and verified. I have smartthings connected using a custom device handler, but i dont think anything else is signed into the account. I got the ST connecting redone with 2FA, it authenticated and all seems fine, but every few minutes im getting a verification code. Is there any way i can tell what is signed in and what device is trying to sign in to prompt the code? I had issues before when i enabled 2FA before it was supported in that smartapp and it locked my account for 24 hours. i dont see anything to indicate thats the problem again, but the timing is suspect relative to when i redid the smartapp. anyone seen something similar? maybe its the ST integration. maybe its something else. id love to see a page where i can see my signed in devices and a history of login attempts but i cant find anything like that on Rings page. I just dont want to get locked out and i want these texts to stop. any input would be appreciated.  

Answer 1

Mine was sending the code every few minutes because of Simple Commands. Turned off 2FA & just put in a 30+ digit password.

@imperturbation91375 I was cussing up a storm trying to figure it out. Took me a few hours of signing in and out of stuff to figure out it was SC. Once I turned that connection off, it stopped. Since I use SC for a lot of my routines, I opted for no 2FA and just a stupid long, convoluted PW.
