How do I change NVP/SOAP API Password?

I can't find a place to do it and I want to change the password as one of our developers left and it would be much more secure if it was changed.

Hi @PiotrRob 

That is a great question! To do this, you'll actually need to "regenerate" your credentials.

To do this, you'll go to the "API Access" settings in your account and remove it per the instructions below:

- Log in to your PayPal account.
- Click the "Profile" cog wheel in the top right corner of the page.
- Click "Account Settings".

- Click "Account Access" on the left.
- Click "Update" next to API access.
- In the NVP/SOAP API Integration section, click "Manage API Credentials ."
- Click "Remove"

- Once you do this, in the NVP/SOAP API Integration section, click "Manage API Credentials" again.

- From here request the API Signature and click "Agree and Submit".

Keep in mind, following these instructions will cause whatever App using these credentials to no longer authorize until it's updated with the new credentials.

I hope this helps!
