Why did API v2 passwords became invalid today?

Rolandoz

I have been reporting using the new PWS API v2 for some months. I report from 3 different stations and it has uptime around 99.99%... Suddenly, today, they all started to report "invalid password". Nothing changed here. I have checked that passwords in my configuration/reporting are the same shown in "My Stations". So it must be a problem at Windy side, right?

From my log. Times are CET:

2026-05-27 10:36:03 : Windy URL: https://stations.windy.com/api/v2/observation/update?id=VtofQu2
2026-05-27 10:36:03 : Windy Success: VtofQu2 - Data timestamp: 27-05-2026 10:35:23

2026-05-27 10:41:02 : Windy URL: https://stations.windy.com/api/v2/observation/update?id=VtofQu2
2026-05-27 10:41:02 : Windy Error: BadRequest - {"message":"Provided password is invalid","error":"Bad Request","statusCode":400}

Something went wrong between 10:36 and 10:41 CET.
