New iPhone Pro 14, unable to add this as trusted device using email, entering code in app yields "There was a problem trusting this device. Try a...[sic]" repeatedly.

Looks like others have had the same problem.

You could try logging in to your account using a pc web browser to my.arlo.com. Once in go to settings/account profile/login settings/two-step verification and trust the new phone, then edit to set it as primary to receive the 2fa requests.

There's an option there to "Add a method," (of verification) but no option to trust a new phone.

If it is not appearing in the list you will need to delete and reinstall the app on the new phone.

Thanks, re-installing the app did the trick.

Some users have reported success by simply uninstalling and reinstalling the Arlo Secure mobile app. For others, following the steps here resolved the issue: https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Add-trusted-device-on-new-iPhone-Issue-Resolved-Workaround/m-p/18...

So I'm back to the same problem ...

New iPhone Pro 11, unable to add this as trusted device using email, entering code in app yields "There was a problem trusting this device. Try a...[sic]" repeatedly.

The only way it accepts the device is by typing DONT TRUST

I go out of the screen to my emails on my phone so it appears to log me out and when I go back to the Arlo app on my phone it sends a new security

Looks like lots n lots of others have had the same problem.

I'm very unhappy with the whole Arlo system.   You can't ever talk to a human ...

Looks like we are all covered by bots ?
