Where to get the password that etesync-dav requires when adding an account?

[devurandom]

When I navigate to http://localhost:37358/.web/add/ in my browser, I am being asked for a "username" and an "account password". I do have a password from long ago, but when I enter it etesync-dav responds with NotFound without any further explanation:

journalctl -f -b -u etesync-dav does not show anything apart from the startup message:

Started etesync-dav - A CalDAV and CardDAV adapter for EteSync.

In case I have a wrong password I wanted to reset it, but I cannot find any option to do that on https://dashboard.etebase.com/user/partner/dashboard/

In addition, when I navigate to https://www.etesync.com/ and click the "Log In" button in the top right, I am being taken to https://dashboard.etebase.com/user/partner/login/ which does not offer any way to log in using a password. I can log in fine using the "Login via email" button, entering my email address and pressing "send link. But this option does not exist when using etesync-dav and trying to add an account via http://localhost:37358/.web/add/.

I am running NixOS 23.05.20230819.4cdad15 which provides etesync-dav 0.32.1, cf. https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.05&show=etesync-dav&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=etesync-dav.

Where do I get this password from and how can I change it?

See the README

The readme says:

# Configuration and running

1. Run `etesync-dav` and open the management UI in your browser: http://localhost:37358/
2. Add your EteSync user through the web UI.
3. Copy the DAV specific password by click the "Copy Password" button next to your newly added username.

But it does not say where the credentials for step 2 come from.

Your normal etesync credentials.

I'm closing it, as it's resolved. Though let me know if it doesn't fix it for you.

Btw, mind opening a PR on the README to clarify that it should be your normal etesync credentials?

Are "normal etesync credentials" the ones I use on https://pim.etesync.com/ ? I don't normally visit that page and the dashboard I usually interact with (https://dashboard.etebase.com/user/partner/login/) does not have any credentials and does not allow me to change them. That's what confused me.

[tasn]

The normal is pim.etesync.com, yeah. Also what you'd use in the apps for example.

FYI: The error message NotFound that I go earlier (cf. description and screenshot of original report, above) was caused by NixOS using the wrong default API URL (cf. NixOS/nixpkgs#251635 (comment)). Once I changed it to https://api.etebase.com I could log in.
