OPower PG&E Failing Again
EDIT: Went to PG&E site and realized that they have a down for maintenance message posted there that My Account will be down until Monday. This may be the source of the problem and not my config.
----------
I installed the early fix to PG&E support including the manual creation of the opower folder and contents in custom_configuration.
Today I got an authentication failed message. I've removed the opower folder per instructions here https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/146468 but I can neither remove the OPower integration nor reauthenticate.
No password or account changes recently. Anyone else having problems authenticating?

Opower should put a note when there’s an authentication error: “Authentication error. Make sure that the crappy PG&E site is actually up and running before blaming us”

Lewis Black for a while read letters from the audience. HIs trip to CA was, to say the least, rather entertaining.

Did they release a fix for the 2FA requirement? Mine has been broken for a while and it was because the integration didn’t support 2FA yet.

This is fixed in the 2025.8 release.
