The scrypted guys are aware of the issue and will push a ring update soon.

Cannot Setup Ring Plugin

Hello, I cannot setup the ring plugin. I input my email and password and click save. Nothing happens....I never get a 2FA code. I open the console and it says error: Refresh token is not valid. Unable to authenticate with Ring servers. See https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Refresh-Tokens. I have my refresh token available from HomeBridge, but I am unsure what my next step is?
