## Manage Station Keys

You can manage the credentials that your radio station uses to authenticate itself with the Triton Digital Streaming Network.

Examples:

- Reset a station key any time of day without disrupting your streaming.
- Prevent decommissioned encoders from accidentally connecting to Triton.
- Update a station key for employee off-boarding.

You can have up to two station keys per station that you manage in Triton. While your encoder uses one key at a time, having a second key allows you to rotate credentials without interrupting your station’s stream. You can create a new station key, update your encoder with the new key, and then remove the old key after the change is complete. This lets you update streaming credentials without taking the station offline.

### How Station Credentials Work

Your Triton station’s name and its station key form the credentials that you enter in Station Manager or your third-party encoder. The Triton Digital Streaming Network uses these credentials to authenticate your radio station for streaming.

1. **Name**: All uppercase letters. This is different than your station’s **Display name**.
2. **Station Keys**: An access key is case sensitive. It must be at least 16 characters, and must contain contain only uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numerical digits.

> [!NOTE]
> Do not share a station key
> 
> A station key is a secure way to authenticate your radio station with the Triton Digital Streaming Network. Only use it with Station Manager or your third-party encoder.

### Reset a Station Key

You reset a station key by creating a new key, entering it into Station Manager or your third party encoder, confirming that your encoder has successfully authenticated with the new key, then deleting the old key.

1. Make sure you can access the Station Manager application or your third-party encoder’s configuration settings.
2. Go to [**Settings > Common Assets > Radio Stations**](https://settings.tritondigital.com/common-assets/stations).
3. Find your radio station and select it to see its station keys.
4. Select **Add new key**.
5. In **Add station key**, enter the following:
  - **Label**: A descriptive name for the new station key.
  - **Station key**: Enter a key or select **Generate strong key**. A key must be at least 16 characters long and contain only uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numerical digits.
6. Select **Add key**.
7. Wait for the alert “Streaming key added successfully”.
8. Copy the new station key into your clipboard.
9. In Station Manager, re-authenticate your station’s password with the new station key. See [Update a Station Password](/user/docs/working-with-stations#update-a-station-password). If you are using a third-party encoder, see the encoder’s documentation.
10. Wait 5 minutes to confirm that Station Manager, or your third-part encoder, has successfully authenticated with the new key.
11. Delete the old key. You can see the time that the old key was created as a reference.

### Delete a Station Key

> [!CAUTION]
> Deleting a station key cannot be undone!
> 
> Do not delete a station key until you confirm that it is no longer needed. Triton refuses connections from Station Manager and third-party encoders that try to use a deleted station key.
