Hi Ron, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The basic_auth_username and basic_auth_password values you were seeing were actually a relic of the past. As of today, these are removed from our examples.
As you noted, the API key is tied to a specific account. More details on API auth are available here <https://api-explorer.scalr.com/authentication/index.html>. Cheers, Wm.
