API - suddenly not getting API keys in ESP Home

I’m relatively new to ESPHome/HomeAssistant.
I was playing with ESP32s, ESP Home and things were going great. I was able to connect up a device, find it with the ESP dashboard, connect and install the initial ESP load, add my own yaml, etc. This was giving me API encryption keys.

Now, doing the same thing to more or different ESP32 dev chips, I no longer get the API encryption key auto-generated…

What am I missing?
