Great article! I didn't know two-factor authentication was available for security cameras. I'll definitely enable that.
Does the reset process delete all my settings, or just the password?
I just went through the reset process, and it worked perfectly! I wasn't sure if holding the button for 15 seconds was enough, but it did beep, and I was able to set a new password without any issues. Just remember to check your email for the reset link afterward if you're doing it through the app.
