Posting to Wunderground settings - Password?

[Bruce Butkus]

Hey All, 

I have an ambient weather WS2000 and WS2902 which im using as sensors for my WeeWx on a Pi. 

my thought was that I would use the Pi to upload to wunderground in case of power outage or whatever, as well as host a webpage with my data. 

however, in the weewx settings, Wunderground wants a Station (ok got that) and Password. Uhh? what password? neither AW system use a password. They use a key, that i have. 

When i plug in the key, as a password, it sort of works, it uploaded the temp like 3 times over 12 hours then said it was down. I tried my actual Wunderground password and just causes a log in failure. 

is the wunderground thing bunk now that they changed things around with the api / upload criteria in WeeWx 3.9.1?
