# Autobound - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Autobound, you need:

1. **API Key** — an Autobound Signal API key.

This guide will show you how to get it.

### Prerequisites

* An Autobound Signal API account. You can [sign up for free](https://signalapi.autobound.ai/signup); new accounts get 1,000 free credits with no credit card.

### Step 1: Create an API key

1. Sign in to the [Autobound Signal API portal](https://signalapi.autobound.ai/login). In the left sidebar under **Account**, click **API Keys**.

2. On the **API Keys** page, click **Create Key**.

3. Enter a name for the key, then click **Create**.

4. Under **Save Your API Key**, click the copy button to copy the key, then click **Done**. The key is shown only once, so store it somewhere safe.

### Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Autobound.
2. Enter your **API Key** in the designated field.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
