Can you change the "password" help text in "Try It" to something else?
We require an email address and API token to authenticate against and use our API. With ReadMe's "Try It" functionality, users are prompted to enter a username and password to try out our API from within ReadMe. Is there a way for us to change this text so users are not confused?
Also - I sent a screenshot of what I'm talking about to support@readme.io since I am unable to upload an image through the slash command here (a bug I believe).
Hi Joe,
Thanks for this! Our team is looking at the bug with the new editor, so that should be resolved shortly.
As for the changing of 'username' and 'password' text, that's a little more tricky! Since this part of the application is a separate piece (the API Explorer) it won't be affected by custom JS and CSS like other fields on the page. The 'basic' security scheme is always defined as a username/password that returns a base64 encoded string for auth.
t;dr: there isn't a way to change the username/password string within the Explorer auth boxes! I can add this as a feature request in case we want to customize that accessibility piece!

Has this been resolved? Per the OAuth spec, we would like to use HTTP Basic authentication defined as client_id:client_secret. It would be desirable for client_id and client_secret to be reflected as field placeholders in the "Authorization" UI instead of username and password.
