iOS app latest version

Configuration
#1

I’m having a problem with the iOS app ever since I updated to the latest version 77.1

I setup a username and password upon loading 77.1 for the 1st time. I had a password set on the Ios app before the update so now im not sure which password I should be using, The new password I created certainly doesn’t work.

Can anyone help

You need to enable legacy authentication until the app is updated. Use the password you used to use:

homeassistant:
  auth_providers:
   - type: homeassistant
   # Uncomment next line if you want to enable legacy API password support
   - type: legacy_api_password

Thanks for this, sorry a little bit confused. You said to uncomment out the next line. The next line isn’t uncommented.

I’ve added this in and still getting an error. Think I am being an idiot. Do I need to add in my old password somewhere.

    map:

# Track the sun
sun:

  auth_providers:
   - type: homeassistant
   # Uncomment next line if you want to enable legacy API password support
   - type: legacy_api_password

The appropriate line was uncommented for you, The original explanation text was not changed.

You will also need to configure the legacy password in your configuration.yaml file:

http:
  api_password: [your password here]

Also it looks like your auth code is indented more than the sun sensor above. “auth_providors” should start at text column 0 (and everything under it shifted the same amount). It could just be a cut and paste error.

I’m having the same issue with the iOS app. When I make the suggested changes and do a config check, I get a ‘auth_providers component not found’ error.

Here’s my original post with a video explaining what I’m seeing. iPhone app login failure

What else may I be missing?

That solution was for an older version of HA. All you need to do for legacy password support is:

http:
  api_password: [your password here]

The other thing you can do is use the beta version of the app. I have found it to be very stable and it supports the new auth.

Thank you for your help.

I appreciate it.

Note: there have been problems reported with using legacy password support and you should no longer use it:
