Re: FindFriendsMini a new iCloud FindmyFriends Plugin

Just upgraded to 2023.1 and now my login to iCloud is not working. Even trying the previous trick, still no joy.

Peculiarly, when I attempt a login, I don't get any sort of notice on any of my i-devices that something is trying to log in.

No changes to my login info, just the restart of Indigo required with the 2023 update.

EDIT: also seeing this error in the log, which I think is new:
Code: Select all
  File "plugin.py", line 1997, in submitCode
type: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'validate_2fa_code'


Second Edit: Turns out that as little as one failed login attempt can make Apple "lock" your iCloud account. The odd thing is that none of the logged in I-devices get a notice about this, or get kicked out of login. Instead, I have to login manually using a non-Safari browser to get the notice that the account is locked, and to go through the unlock process.

Once I've done all that, I can once again set up a trusted session with FFM.

SmartThings refugee, so happy to be on Indigo. Monterey on a base M1 Mini w/Harmony Hub, Hue, DomoPad, Dynamic URL, Device Extensions, HomeKitLink, Grafana, Plex, uniFAP, Fantastic Weather, Nanoleaf, LED Simple Effects, Bond Home, Camect.

Can this plugin be used to track AirTags?

Thanks,

Nope.
Apple doesn’t allow this - and you can imagine the security implications (!). You would be able to track anyone, anything and record location data live….
