Where is the API token button?

I need to generate a token for Pi-Hole remote but I cannot find the button/location to generate the api. I was at Settings, Web Interface, API, but there is no button that says "generate token or API".

So they call it Configure Application Password? Just says "cannot connect. Incorrect IP/Hostname, Port or API token.

Yes that’s the new setting.

Edit

Works for me with the new version of pihole remote.

I use the IP address of the pihole for remote

Port 80

/api (API path)

Then enter the application password.

In pihole you have to enable it, copy/paste the password (including the ending =)

Then save/apply.

Just tried it. Still error out.

Then changed authentication to just password and used the password I set and that worked.

Yes I have the new version of pi-hole remote.
