The problem is related to the 2-factor authentication ring had imposed on everyone without thinking about the ramifications to integrated or linked applications which are web services and have no way to deal with a 2nd factor requirement. This was extremely short-sighted of ring. It is also impossible to turn off this MFA completely. Despite my account setting being OFF, I am still required to enter a code via email. I had to do that to reply to your response. Ring needs to come up with a per application passcodes that do not require MFA or some other kind of trust platform such as OATH that will allow web services and applications to access accounts so that application and device integrations such as home automation products are not completely broken as many are right now due to this change. Did Ring even inform their partner community of these changes?
