   I'm installing a plugin that requires my API key, which I don't have saved on my computer anymore. In trying to retrieve my API key, I'm forwarded to a site that asks for my username and password, but it keeps telling me that my username is invalid. I'm absolutely using the correct info that I use to login to my site's dashboard... Is there any other way to get my API key?

   I need the API key for the same reason.. wordpress stats.

   Do I have to register at wordpress.com for that? why is that? I dont want to crate a new blog, I already have my site?

   Yes, becuase it's THEIR app and they said so. It's just how it works.

   Ah, that happens alot :) You can get an ID with just an account (you don't need to make a blog unless you want one) http://en.wordpress.com/api-keys/
