# Connect exchange API key

Copy and paste the generated **API Key** and the **Secret** into the inputs; you can choose anything you want for "**Name**" (which is used for switching between your different accounts into tuleep).

{% hint style="info" %}
To ensure security, the API keys for exchanges are never sent to a server and are stored locally in your browser's [localStorage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage). 

If you clear your browser cache, you must add them again, as they will be erased.
{% endhint %}
