Alexa Flash Briefing skill with long lived token?

I would like to setup an alexa flash briefing however I do not see how to do it using the new auth method and would prefer not to enable the legacy api. Is this possible yet?

Have you found a solution?

Nope, need 10 characters.

Is at least the API_PASSWORD working for you.
In my case, I can’t get it to work. I get “401: Unauthorized” all the time. No way to use Alexa Flash Breafing at all…
Is it working for you?
How did you defined the API_PASSWORD (im running the HA 0.102.1

Nope I never got it working and I never attempted the API_PASSWORD since I believe that was being deprecated which they may have finally dropped support for API_PASSWORD completely now.

ok. much more clear now. Then this means that HA don’t support Alexa Flash Briefing anymore… Right?
How can this be reported and be updated in the instructions? Why to have detailed instructions about it if it doesn’t work.
