# Generating a Wasabi Account Control API Key

It is recommended that you rotate your API key periodically for security purposes. Wasabi Account Control API customers can manage and rotate their API keys within the Wasabi Management Console. Rotating keys lets you keep your applications that leverage the Wasabi Account Control API running smoothly and securely. With the Console feature, you can generate up to two keys at a time and rotate them accordingly.

> If you are a user of the Wasabi Account Control API and do not see this feature in your Console, contact Wasabi Support at [support@wasabi.com](mailto:support@wasabi.com).

1. Using the Wasabi Management Console, click **Settings**on the Wasabi menu. Or, open the account sign-in drop-down![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1697644604764.png)and click **Settings**.
2. On the Account Settings panel, open the Wasabi Account Control API Key****drop-down:

If there is an existing key, as in the example above, you can click:

3. To generate a new key, click the **Generate New API Key**button. The key is generated automatically.

When you have two API keys, as shown in the following example, the button to generate a key is grayed and unavailable. You can create only two API keys at a time, as indicated at the bottom right of the panel.

To rotate the key, delete one (or both) of the existing keys and generate another.
