### Unable to Setup
231+
232+
#### Symptom: "CannotAuthenticate"
233+
234+
##### Description
235+
236+
You will see `MFA OTP code not found on login page` or `Cannot find "auth-mfa-otpcode" in html source` in the logs when trying to setup the integration. This is because the authentication details are incorrect.
237+
238+
You need to ensure you are:
239+
240+
- using the right credentials (The ones you would use to login to the Alexa app and Amazon shopping site)
241+
- setup to use app based 2FA
242+
- not setup to receive SMS 2FA codes
243+
244+
To test this you should login to your local amazon shopping site in incognition/private mode in your browser and check you are are prompted for the OTP code from you authenticator app and you are able to login sucessfully.
