Hey there @dknowles2, @ptcryan, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (hydrawise
) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/pull/32488 never got merged. I'll resend later today on the main branch.
The new Hydrawise API does not use the API key for authentication and instead uses username/password authentication. It looks like it may also support OAuth (which I assume is how Apple & Facebook logins work), but I'll need to poke at it a bit to figure out how it works, as it's not documented well by Hydrawise.
Many thanks for the update @dknowles2 - in the meantime I will see if it is easy to change the authentication of my account and if it is, am happy to add to the documentation
I didn't find a way to change the authentication method of my account but I did find that once logged in using my AppleID, I could create a new user by providing an email address and give them read and write access. Then go to the web portal and choose forgot my password and type in the email address of the new user. Then you can click on the link in the email sent to this address and set the password. This combination of email address and password can then be used to authenticate the integration
The problem
I upgraded to 2024.5 and the hydrawise integration requested that I reauthenticate. It asks for a username and password, despite the docs saying it is requesting an API key. I can't try the username/password to see if that works as I am using apple authentication with the hydra wise app which doesn't use passwords. Either there is a bug and it should be asking for my API key, or there has been a major change which should be reflected in the documentation.
