Unable to Use 2 step verification from my laptop/browser. Receiving HTTP failure response error.

Ikeokwu — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 22:59:40 GMT

Please help.

Problem is 2step verification. It’s set up via my mobile, but I have not been unable to use the verification via my laptop /web browser, either through notification, sms or email.

I get an error that says "Http failure response for https://ocapi-app.arlo.com/api/startauthorization: 0 unknown error"

Hey Ikeokwu,

Have you tried clearing your cache/cookies on your browser to see if that might help? Are you also seeing this error on the Arlo app on your phone device?

Hi Jessica,

I get this error on my laptop.

No problem with my mobile which is the trusted device, and via which all verification -device, sms, email, were set up. I get same error no matter which verification method I choose, I never get any verification code sent.

I have tried different browsers - same results.

But I have not tried clearing the cache/cookies. Will try this.

Thanks,

Hello again,

Just cleared cache and cookies data. Still getting same error either with notifications, sms or email.

It's inexplicable since I reliably get notifications on the mobile from the cameras, and also emails from the Arlo community.

Have you tried on incognito mode or trying on a different browser?

Have tried both Firefox and Google. I suppose I will try MS Edge also. Will also look at the incognito mode.

Just wonder why no one else seems to have experienced this same challenge. All started after the 2 step verification activation.

Let me also reach out to you via private message to gather some more information from you.

Hi, JessicaP,

Just trying to confirm that you received my private chat some two days ago, after as you suggested, I tried both Private browsing, other browsers as MS Egde, and different data networks. Other details requested were also provided.

I'm still fishing for a solution, hope that Arlo itself can help. It is not as if I can simply disable the 2 step verification, since Arlo has set a deadline (I believe) for all users to adopt it for better security.

Hello Jessica,

Received and replied your message on location, but don't know if you received same, since I got the below error:

Let me know.
