# How Can I Regenerate an API Key on SMSGatewayCenter?

If you need to update your **API key** for security reasons or because it’s been compromised, **SMSGatewayCenter** allows you to regenerate it. Here’s how to do it:

## **Steps to Regenerate an API Key**

- **Log In**: Access your **SMSGatewayCenter** account.
- **Navigate to Generate API Key Settings**: Go to the *Generate API Key Settings* section in your dashboard.
- **Locate the Existing Key**: Find the current API key in the table.
- **Remove the Current Key**: Blank out the API key value in the corresponding field.
- **Save the Form**: Click the *Save* button to regenerate a new API key.
- **View the New Key**: The newly generated API key will appear in the table.

### **Important Notes**

- Regenerating an API key will invalidate the previous key, so any existing integrations using the old key will stop working.
- Update your applications with the new API key immediately to avoid disruptions.

#### **Best Practices**

- Notify your team before regenerating the key to ensure all integrations are updated.
- Test the new API key with a sample request to confirm it works as expected.
