I'm attempting to setup an arlo integration with home assistant. I believe my configs should be correct but I'm receiving the following error when I try to initialize the integration -

2025-06-04 13:19:14.442 WARNING (SyncWorker_5) [pyaarlo] error in new response={'meta': {'code': 400, 'error': 9261, 'message': 'Invalid factor data'}}
2025-06-04 13:19:14.832 ERROR (SyncWorker_5) [pyaarlo] imap connection failed'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xa0' in position 5: ordinal not in range(128)
2025-06-04 13:19:14.832 ERROR (SyncWorker_5) [pyaarlo] login failed: 2fa: startup failed
2025-06-04 13:19:14.833 ERROR (SyncWorker_5) [custom_components.aarlo] unable to connect to Arlo: attempt=3,sleep=60,error=login failed: 2fa: startup failed

It's unclear which property in my IMAP config is causing this error, and looking through the values given, I don't believe any of them should be causing this issue.
