Authorization by Login and Password
We recommend using API key authorization as it provides enhanced security. In future versions of Beesender, the option for login and password authentication will no longer be available.
If API key authorization is not available on the system, you can use login and password authorization instead.
You can skip steps 1-7 if you already have the Feature toggling section.

Select the workplace where you want to display the Feature togging section
Click “Open”
In the Sections detail, click +
