  3. Navigate to the API keys section
  4. Generate a new API key (copy it immediately as some providers only show it once)
  5. Save your API key in a secure password manager or encrypted note

⚠️ Important: Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly. Store it safely as you'll need it to connect with TypingMind.
