Balzac uses WordPress Application Passwords to improve security and make it easy to connect with your website. Sites running WordPress version 5.6 or higher can generate application passwords on the Edit Profile screen.
This article covers how to generate and use WordPress Application Passwords to authenticate your website in Balzac AI.
What is an Application Password?
An application password is a securely generated password that can be used to authenticate REST API requests only.
You cannot use an application password to log in to a WordPress site; this makes application passwords much more secure.
How to Create an Application Password for WordPress?
Generating an application password is done through your WordPress dashboard within your WordPress profile, please follow these steps below:
Log in to your WordPress site with an admin user account (a user with the administrator role).
Navigate to Users > Profile.
Scroll down to the “Application Passwords” section.
Enter "Balzac AI" in the “New Application Password Name” field. This field is for internal use only and helps you identify what your application password is connected to.
Click the “Add New Application Password” button to create your password.
Be sure to immediately copy and paste your password in Balzac AI. You won’t be able to see it after you leave this page.
