#### Step 2: 

* Select the account’s email address in the upper-right corner of the page to go to the profile.
* Select **My Profile** to generate an API key.
* In the **API Access** section, the API key appears. Copy it and save it in a secure location to submit to Epiphany later.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This key will disappear after you leave this page. If you don't copy and save the key, you will need to generate a new one. It also represents login credentials to the Meraki Dashboard, so treat the key with care.
