See and change authentication credentials (user/pwd), reauthenticate

[fodorg01]

Before requesting a new feature / a new sensor

• The feature I'm requesting exists in the myVAILLANT app, and I attached a screenshot
• I tested the latest release, and it's missing there
• I've attached exported data of my system

Describe the feature you want

• I would like to see the user credentials (user name or e-mail, potentially the password) that is used by this integration.
• I would like to be able to re-authenticate:
  • either with the same credentials
  • or with new user / credentials (belonging to the same home/system though) without losing existing entities.

This might be already possible but couldn't figure out how. In that case this is a feature request only on the documentation.

I can do it if necessary.

As far as I know the only way seems to be to completely remove and reinstall the integration through HACS

I've not seen any other integrations allowing you to change user / password after the initial setup. If you can point me to an integration that does this, let me know. I'm curious how they implemented this.

Just removing the user and re-adding it should be fine, no need to remove the integration from HACS as far as I know. You could backup HA, then do this. Your entity names will probably stay the same, if your email didn't change. If not, you can restore your backup.

If you're comfortable messing with internal HA files, you can also edit user / password in config/.storage/core.config_entries, just search for mypyllant. But careful with this file, it may break your HA if the formatting is messed up.

Good to know thanks!
