I use appdaemon as dashboard, and has some cameras which can be showed with the camera widget.
This widget gives as example to use api_password as authentication for the api.
As api_password is becoming depcricated and i’m using it just for this function. Does anyone knows of there already a solution for the HADasboard camera widget without using api_password?
Docs of HADasboard: https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/DASHBOARD_CREATION.html#camera
no there is no other solution at this moment.
but its on the todo list to find out if there are other options.
Hey @ReneTode I just updated everything to 0.82.1 from 0.75, well starting on a my new server, so they are running side by side till I get 0.82 working as I want, but seem to be running into a camera problem at the moment, but think the answer is here, but just want to double check.
Do you HAVE to use the api password ?

You can’t just use a Token ?
http://192.168.1.20:8123/api/camera_proxy/camera.living_room?token=<your token>
I was hoping to not have to setup the old legacy auth if possible, but if this is the only way to get camera’s working, then, so be it 
Many thanks in advance.
yeah, the cams still use api key.
its a point we are working on.
No problems sir, thank you for the reply, saves me constantly trying more things to get it working when it won’t 
The 401 error in the browser with the link gave it away, thought it might be something to do with me making tokens or something, but I’ll just add back in the API password for now.
Has the camera widget been updated to use tokens yet? The appdaemon documentation still shows api_password so I assume we still need to use the API password in Home-Assistant?
no there has been no update from appdaemon
