Psosmith82 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Trying to setup my UniFi protect cameras in Composer Home, and when i go to login to my Ubiquiti account, it wont work as i have 2FA turned on. There is no place where i am noticing to add 2FA details, and I don’t see any options to create one time passwords. Does anybody know how to get around this without turning off my 2FA?

cdepaola Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 You should be creating a "Local User" only not using your main login. Psosmith82 and msgreenf 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psosmith82 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Ok, done through the Unifi web portal right? I am new to UniFi so I’m still learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having trouble with this - since turning on 2FA, depending on the client, I either get a dead camera icon on every camera or I'm getting the camera images with a blue hue and a spinning pinwheel. To fix, I've tried creating a local user as suggested here but I must not have done something right. I followed these directions: I created a new user with account type as local access and role is limited admin - doesn't have an email associated with it but I've added a local user name and password there under the profile - also view only for protect controller permissions. Then, in the C4 driver under authentication, I checked required, entered that local user name and local password, and basic authentication. I'm testing on iPhone, iPad, and iOS app running on M1 Mac Mini. I've tried entering and reentering the local name and password a number of times on each camera and refreshing navigators each time. Since creating the local name things have changed slightly. The iPhone and iPad navigators now show the camera images properly but inconsistency - sometimes a camera shows up and sometimes I get the broken camera icon. The M1 Mac Mini client is showing every camera consistently but every image has a heavy blue hue and a pinwheel moving in the center.
