Legacy api password enable causes hass not to start

Configuration
1

I need to use REST api calls, so i need to use legacy api password.

But when i put the following lines in configuration.yaml:

auth_providers:
   - type: homeassistant
   - type: legacy_api_password
     api_password: !secret api_password

The result is:

2019-09-02 12:04:08 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Error loading /root/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml: Secret api_password not defined
2019-09-02 12:04:08 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Starting Home Assistant
2019-09-02 12:04:08 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Timer:starting

What shall i do?

Do you actually have a file called secrets.yaml and inside that file have a line that says api_password: mysecretpassword?

Done, now i got:

Configuration.yaml:

homeassistant:
  auth_providers:
    - type: homeassistant
    - type: legacy_api_password

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml

Secrets.yaml:


# Use this file to store secrets like usernames and passwords.
# Learn more at https://home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/secrets/
some_password: welcome
api_password: mypasss

Result:

You should really read those error messages…

The first “revision” you didn’t even specify a password,
The second “revision” you told script to call secrets.yaml.

You’re all over the place here.

homeassistant:
  auth_providers:
    - type: homeassistant
    - type: legacy_api_password
      api_password: !secret http_password
    - type: trusted_networks
      trusted_networks:
        - 192.168.1.0/24

in secrets.yaml:

http_password: YOURPASS

Didn’t know:
In configuration.yaml the variable is declared.
In secrets.yaml variable value is set.

Better tell it that way in: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/authentication/providers/

Thanks.

You mean, like it literally states here?

homeassistant:
  auth_providers:
   - type: legacy_api_password
     api_password: !secret http_password

Keep in mind the API password has been deprecated for many releases now, and will be dropped. Instead of trying to make this work, you should be moving to use long lived access tokens or webhook triggers.
