# ConfigCat - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with ConfigCat, you need:

1. **Basic auth username** — the user name of a ConfigCat Public API credential.
2. **Basic auth password** — the password generated with that credential.

This guide will show you how to create them.

### Prerequisites

* A [ConfigCat](https://app.configcat.com/) account.

### Step 1: Create your Public API credential

1. Log in to the [ConfigCat Dashboard](https://app.configcat.com/).
2. Click your organization and user name in the top-left of the sidebar to open the account menu, then select **My API Credentials**.

3. On the **My API Credentials** page, click **Add credential**.

4. Enter a name for the credential (for example, `Nango`) and click **Create**.

5. Copy the **Basic auth user name** and the **Basic auth password**. Store the password securely before you close the dialog.

### Step 2: Enter your credentials in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with ConfigCat.
2. Enter the **Basic auth user name** in the **Basic auth username** field.
3. Enter the **Basic auth password** in the **Basic auth password** field.
4. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
