# worthy epoch Hello, I ve tried everything to login. In the Tapo app, third party services is ...

on the tapo app you may need to turn on "3rd party control" (or whatever they are calling it this week)

if its already on then switch it off, wait a few minutes and switch it back on.

tp-link will randomly decide they you don't want this anymore and switch it off for you and you have to switch it back on.

tp-link are slowly making it more difficult to use their stuff with home assistant. they may one day just switch it off entirely. (some devices already have it disabled it seems.)

advice is: don't buy any more tp-link stuff. when you get more or replace hardware then get something else more trustworthy.
you don't have to panic replace everything now but its something to be aware of moving forward.

I just bought 4 more Tapo plugs, they are affordable! 🙁

So I found a solution! Changing the password in the Tapo App fixed the problem!

I just changed it to the same one! 😅
