    2. Confirm the password that you typed in the previous step, by typing it again into the PASSWORD (AGAIN) field.
    3. Click the CHANGE PASSWORD button to proceed with the password change.

    Protect your API Key

    Your key is the equivalent of a username and password that grants access to all of your website data. Treat it as carefully as any other password. BotGuard strongly recommends that you never use your API Key in your browser. It is only intended for use when accessing the API programmatically.

  6. In the section Your Dedicated Servers, you can learn about the BotGuard server associated with your account, including location, when it started, the number of processed requests, the number of blocked bots, and the server loading information.
