Trying to understand changes in "API Password" removal in .101

Configuration
1

So I have 2 “integrations” that require communication from device x to HASS (hass.io in my case). For this I rely on the url call and apending ?api_password=X

  • The release notes mention it’s now fully removed
  • The documentation still mentions it. Is the info here outdated?
  • Some forum posts (like this) mention that it still works but just have to move some stuff in the configuration file

Few Q’s:

  • What is the real story? Does it still work but it will not work in the future (so release notes are wrong?)
  • If ANY authentication via the ?api_password=X approach will stop working. Can someone explain a step by step migration path? I know there are other ways to do this but I’m not smart enough to figure out which method is best and how to implement this.
