Have you tried it? I have not, and I didn’t see a mention of your trying that in your posts so far. Although not recommended, it’s supposed to be possible in the mobile app at Account ➜ Account ➜ Two-Factor Authentication ➜ Disable 2FA (Not Recommended). The Help Center indicates that opting out requires a user to create a new account, but that doesn’t really make sense to me if it’s required and enabled by default, because that seems to imply that it’s going to be enabled on any new account, so I don’t know what the real answer is.
Since Wyze has—so far, at least—chosen not to support Firefox for Web View, the suggesting of trying a different browser isn’t terrible advice, even if it’s frustrating and not what a user wants to see. (I write that as someone who used to grumble a lot because certain Web sites depended on ActiveX controls and forced the use of Internet Exploder Explorer.) I think a better solution would be for Wyze to support Firefox, but apparently they’ve chosen to build the portal only for Safari and Chromium-based browsers. I already told @matthew_540012738 in another recent topic that Firefox is unsupported.
Because Safari is WebKit-based, I thought I might have some luck trying suckless’s surf or GNOME Web, but those both failed to stream video. I generally use both Chrome and Firefox on a couple of different Linux distributions and mostly stick with Chrome for Web View, but if you have an aversion to Chrome you could try Chromium or other Chromium-based browsers like Opera, Edge, or Brave.
For whatever it’s worth, I have used Web View in Firefox on Linux and not had to repeatedly deal with 2FA tokens, but I’m also not trying to use Web View with a VPN (which can cause problems by changing the IP address that Wyze’s servers see) or Private Browsing window (which blows away cookies), and I’m pretty selective about which extensions I use (mostly uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger). The reason I don’t use Firefox as my Web View go-to is because I sometimes want to stream my Cam OGs, and I’ve never been able to get those to connect with Firefox.
I realize you also wrote this:
For doing something like this, I have used my phone by connecting it via USB to my PC and then using scrcpy to control the phone. That lets me use the actual Wyze app (running on the phone) in its own application window on my PC’s desktop, and I’ve found that to be helpful for some things. That might be another alternative, since you mentioned…
Also…
I’m unaware of any such prohibition. If you search the Forum, you can even find plenty of posts about things like the Thingino project, which is all about open-source firmware.
