# Reset a provider secret

> Issue a new secret for a data provider when the old one is lost or has to be rotated.

A data provider's secret is shown once, when the provider is created. If it was not stored, or has to be rotated, the only way forward is to issue a new one.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the provider menu">
    On the **Data providers** tab, press the menu on the provider and choose **Reset secret**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the reset">

    Press **Yes, reset secret**. This revokes the existing secret and generates a new one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the new secret">
    The dialog shows the new secret. Copy it with the copy button, then confirm you have stored it.

    <Warning>
      Studio warns you once if you close before copying, but a second attempt closes anyway — and the new secret is lost too, leaving you to reset again.
    </Warning>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Resetting revokes the old secret immediately. Every integration using this
  provider stops being able to get a token until it is updated with the new
  secret, so plan the switch rather than resetting on a live provider mid-run.
</Warning>

<Info>The provider **ID** does not change on a reset — only the secret.</Info>
