How to get a web app builder to be used by the public without them needing a login

I am trying to make a web app builder using the directions widget. I have shared both the map it uses and the web app itself and I also tried putting it into a story map and make it public there but it still requires a login to use the web app builder. What am I doing wrong to where the public cannot use it and must log in? Note: I am able to use it but when a person tries to open the link it requires that they login in order to use the web app. The rest of the story map works but not the map itself.

Austin,


  That is because the directions widget uses credits so a user of the app needs a login. The way around this is to configure a proxy for your app and the proxy can have your credentials embedded. There are multiple threads and blogs about this, just search for setting up a proxy with WAB.
