External blogging client & MT 3.2

XML-RPC and Atom client setup
For those of you who use an external blogging client or anything that uses Movable Type’s XML-RPC or Atom APIs, you have to do one more step (detailed in the entry “Getting started with MT 3.2”) after upgrading to get your clients working again

  • Log into MT
  • Click on your username in the top navbar to go to your profile
  • Scroll down to the bottom where you see “API Password”
  • Input the password of your choice and save. For security reasons, it should be different from your normal password
  • Use that password in your client software
