2. Click Machine Tokens under the Advanced section of the left sidebar menu

   
3. Click New Machine Token

   
4. Give your token a name and optionally a description and click Create Token

   
5. Your machine token will now be displayed

⚠️ Your machine tokens allow anyone with access to them to perform Confidencial actions on your behalf. Be sure to store these tokens securely!
