    Hey guys,
    I am working on a small mobile app that uses the rest api to get the content of WordPress posts. It was working well but after the update of the WordPress core I am getting only {u'message': u'Unknown username. Check again or try your email address.', u'code': u'invalid_username', u'data': {u'status': 401}}
    as a response.

    I tried disabling all plugins – nothing happened, any advice on this would be great!

    You don’t need passwords at all just to get posts. They may be needed for other API operations. What is your app using now for API authentication? It may be in need of updating due to the introduction of application passwords.
