Setting up NameCheap API for DNS Management

What type of hardware are you using: VPS bought online
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.0.8.2
How are you able to access your server: The webadmin
SSH
Other(?)
Are you in a special context or did you perform specific tweaking on your YunoHost instance ?: Not that I am aware of

Describe your issue

I am trying to get the Namecheap API setup for automatic DNS Management. I found several articles, and I think I have tried all the suggestions, (making sure False is capitalized on Sandbox field), but I am still failing DNS API Authentication. Once I get this I want to update the documentation so it is clearer for everyone else in the future (Obtaining an API key from Namecheap | Yunohost Documentation).

I am on a NameCheap Hosted VPS.

I have the API Key, the Name Cheap Username, the YUNohost IP (whitelisted with NameCheap API already), Sandbox = False. But I am still failing Authentication. Any suggestions?

I am currently set as:
Authentication token: NameCheap API Key
auth_username: NameCheap Username
auth_client_ip: YUNoHost IP Address of the NameCheap Hosted VPS
auth_sandbox: False (Specifically capitalized F, as found in other forum post)

I did Whitelist that YUNoHost IP Address within the NameCheap API Key Management Interface

On the API Entry Page:
Failed to authenticate on registrar’s API. Most probably the credentials are incorrect? (Error: Authentication failed: 0 - Unknown exception)
