# Atlassian - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with Atlassian, you need two key pieces of information:

1. **Atlassian Domain** - Your Account domain on Atlassian
2. **Atlassian API Key** - Your unique account identifier

Note: API tokens can be used with the Confluence Cloud, Jira Cloud and Jira Align REST APIs.

This guide will walk you through finding or creating those credentials within Atlassian.

### Prerequisites:

* You must set up an Enterprise account with Atlassian.

#### Step 1: Finding Atlassian API Key

1. Log in to **[https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens)**.
2. Click **Create API token**.
3. From the dialog that appears, enter a memorable and concise **Label** for your token and click **Create**.
4. Click **Copy to clipboard**, and store your API Key securely

Important: Copy and store your API Key securely, it will not be visible again once you leave the creation dialog.
