I understand it being an edge case in testing but I think there is a design issue here with “forever authorization”. Once the device is paired with Alexa I don’t see why Alexa would not still need to get authorization each time it accesses the device? It would seem like once the device went to another account Alexa would attempt authorization and then fail.
Authorization is the problem with a lot of security problems today. I don’t think it should be a corner care, it should be in the initial design of most things (internet of). Calls to banks, use of CC, and now IoT.
I read the resolution from wyze and while I’m happy they patched device associations I was looking for the term “authorization” and didn’t find it. I wish this term had more weight and meaning in the practical use cases we see as consumers. And I wish it was in the initial meetings for us tech devs.
