​

2. Scroll to the Password & security section and find the API key row, then click Create.

3. The key appears right away. Click the copy icon to copy it.
4. Optionally, click Manage allowed IPs, enter one or more IP addresses (press Enter after each) and click Save. Only requests from those IPs will be accepted.

​

Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

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

You are now connected to Databox.
