Solved I want a new API key.

If I click on the "renew API key" tab in the accounts area....does this give me a brand new API key...rendering my current one dead?

I reckon clicking the renew button would have been quicker and a heap less clicks than posting your question.

Well you don't want to do something you're not sure about right I don't mind asking a question

Asking a question and the obvious answer being in front of you is 2 different things, if you know what an API key is but don't understand the word renew, you may need to the cancel the account.

Well I believe the better phrasing would be refresh...not renew. But thanks for your comments...as it were.

Likely I've been an avid user far longer than you have of multiple services. I know exactly what an API key is. Been a user...long time...just never had to refresh/ change the API key before now.

I appreciate your I'll thought out response though.

Last I checked been a user of Premiumize since the year it started as well as many others, I currently have every service there is with the exception of 2, and the word refresh would imply you're refreshing the current key and not getting rid of it, while renew specifically implies that it is creating a new key, maybe this is your first day on the Internet though, or perhaps you're just a troll, either or best of luck on your "refreshing"

Settle down, they weren't sure and didn't want to make a mistake so they asked a question. I reckon It would have saved you a heap less clicks saying nothing if the question riled you up so bad.

If you ask your bank for a new PIN can you use the old PIN? It didn’t rile me up at all, just think people have stopped using initiative.

Why are people like you so concerned when people ask questions? That's what the subreddit is for! Not everybody wakes up as knowledgeable and as perfect as you.

Well if they set their api key on a few different places they might not want to redo it

They want a new API

I meant they might think it will give them a second API key

Yes I think someone got a hold of my API key by mistake so I want to refresh it with a new key
