WordPress Application Passwords enable website owners to generate a unique token to authorize a REST API request. Using Application Passwords, you can authorize third-party applications to make REST API requests from your website.
We recommend establishing connectivity on AppMySite using the WordPress Application Password to ensure smooth connectivity between your app and website.
The following points highlight the steps to connect your website and app with WordPress Application Passwords.
Login to your WordPress website’s admin panel as the administrator.
Make sure the AppMySite plugin is updated to version 3.0.0 or higher.
Navigate to Users >Profile. Scroll down to the Application Passwords section.
Enter a name for your application password and click on Add New Application Password.
Copy your admin account’s username and the newly generated application password.
To achieve connectivity between your website and app, it is mandatory that you have administrator access.
Once you have the application password, return to your AppMySite account and navigate to Connectivity > Grant Acess. Next, follow the steps below to connect your website and app using the Application Password generated in the previous section:
Turn on the WordPress toggle on the Grant Access screen.
Paste your website’s administrator username and the application password generated earlier.
Click on Verify. You’ll be redirected to the App Preview screen if the connection is successful. If it is unsuccessful, visit the Troubleshooting screen to diagnose and fix the connectivity issues you’re facing.
Using an application password to connect your website and app is essential for enabling login and signup support for blog and CMS page website types, supporting custom post taxonomy, and more.
Application Password support is available for AppMySite plugins with code version 3.0.0 and higher. Update your AppMySite plugin to the latest version and use application password support to connect your website and app.
