Hey there @zabuldon, @alandtse, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (tesla) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

I am also having exactly the same issue - with all the same versions details. Also not using MFA for the Tesla authentication.

Same behaviour for me, tried with accounts with and without MFA. Same result.

Shyue Ping Ong posted a fix (post # 64) that seems to work on this page - click here

Have not yet tested myself.

I've just updated and was delighted to see the MFA which I'd switched off so it worked with HA. Couldn't authenticate before I switched it back on and still can't now I have, so steps forward and backward!

Dupe of #54177. Please close and follow that one.

I have the same issue. I had the integration without MFA. When I saw this update I enabled MFA and re-installed the integration. Not I just get Invalid authentication every time I try to add the integration. The MFA works on Tesla.com and with TeslaMate.

The issue is an additional captcha challenge from clients that don't look like a web browser.

This is a library that handles that properly handles the interaction today: https://github.com/tdorssers/TeslaPy although it just shows the captcha image in a browser and asks you to type it before proceeding with the API authentication flow.
