   • Username – The same one you use for your WordPress admin dashboard.
   • Application Password – If you don’t have one yet, follow the steps below.

What is an Application Password?

An Application Password is a site-specific credential that allows approved apps to authenticate to your WordPress account without using your main login. Each password can be individually revoked, and typical implementations generate a fixed-length key (commonly 24 characters) associated with your user on that site.

• It’s safer because:

  → You don’t share your main password.

  → You can remove or reset it anytime.
