* As soon as you click **Generate Key**, a `.txt` file is automatically downloaded to your local system.
* Open the downloaded `.txt` file. It will contain:
  * Access Key ID
  * Secret Access Key
* Save this file in a secure location on your system.
* Use these keys to configure:
  * S3 Browser
  * Cyberduck
  * Any application using the Zata.ai S3 API

{% hint style="info" %}
If the downloaded file is lost, you must delete the existing access key and generate a new one, as the Secret Access Key cannot be recovered.
