# How to manage API keys

Use API keys to authenticate requests to Intuned APIs. Manage your API keys from the [API keys page](https://app.intuned.io/settings/api-keys) in the Intuned dashboard. Check our [API documentation](/client-apis/api-reference/) for details on using API keys.

## Default API key

When you create an Intuned account, Intuned automatically generates a default API key. You cannot delete the default API key, but you can rotate it to generate a new key value. The previous key value stops working immediately after rotation.

## Additional API keys

Create additional API keys for different environments, applications, or team members. You can:

* **Create** new API keys with custom names. You can only view the key value once. If you lose it, you need to create a new key.
* **Rename** existing API keys
* **Revoke** keys that are no longer needed. The key stops working immediately. Any requests using this key will fail.
