Confused about how to setup octoprint, where do I enter the API key or credentials?

When using automatic it seems to use port 3000, automatic uses 80.

As always no documentation seems to exist on new features, just marking info.

The automatic detection only works if your printer and your network support auto-discovery. Many networks won't support that feature, and I believe auto-discovery is actually a separate plugin within OctoPrint.

If automatic detection isn't working, you can always enter the IP address manually. If you need help with what port to use, that's already documented on our FAQ page here (OctoPrint uses port 80 like your said):

The software will automatically prompt you for the API key if one is required, so you don't need to enter that ahead of time.

Thx used the manual and port 80 for octoprint, when I used manual it used port 3000 not sure why.

Then it prompted for API key as you said, seems to be working fine now thx.
