Hello!

I have Homepage dashboard setup and I have a pihole widget. For the widget to get information properly I need an API key. Not a problem, I know where to get it in the web GUI. Problem is, since I have an SSO configured for my services I disabled the web admin password using pihole -a -p . I have tried to read through many posts already.

I understand that the API key is just the hashed password.

That being said. Is there anyway to generate an API key for like a service user? or generate a key without needing to set a web admin password?

Sure, I could set a web admin password but that kind of defeats the purpose of an SSO.

Thanks!
