What is the api_password in http:?

Third party integrations

Trying to set up SSL and I see that I need and APi_password field in the HTTP: container. Which password is this?

This is the password for logging in via devices that get acces to your entities but with their own UI, like Google home, galaxy watch etc.

edit:
add this to your configuration.yaml:

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

add this to your secrets.yaml:

http_password: YOUR_PASSWORD

API password is deprecated and not required for setting up SSL at all
