# Emelia - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Emelia, you need:

1. **API Key** - An Emelia API key.

This guide will show you how to create one.

### Prerequisites

* An Emelia account. You can [sign up](https://v3.emelia.io/register) for a 7-day free trial, no credit card required.

### Step 1: Create an API key

1. Sign in to Emelia and go to **Settings** -> **API & Webhooks** ([v3.emelia.io/settings/api](https://v3.emelia.io/settings/api)).
2. In the **API Keys** card, click **Create new key**.

> An Emelia API key has no scopes: it can read and change everything in your account. Store it as a secret.

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

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Emelia.
2. Enter your **API Key** in the designated field.
