@Dan_Whitnable_Alpaca , I found out what was going on. I reset my account thinking it was only resetting my portfolio. With that knowledge I now see this has confused others in the past and you suggested fixing it. See below. Thanks again. > [@Paper trading API key changes with reset](https://forum.alpaca.markets/t/paper-trading-api-key-changes-with-reset/939): > > Questions if you could help: Is there any way to not have the API key and secret key change when you reset the amount in your paper trading account? I would like them to stay the same after reset so I do not need to chnge them in the remote server I am using to trade against the alpaca api.

This creates confusion, and a fair amount of support issues, because user trading programs then fail with the wrong key. > > One solution would be to copy the key and secret key to the new account. If this is not possible, perhaps at least add a message indicating that the keys must be updated after an account reset. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.alpaca.markets/t/http-status-forbidden-from-paper-api-server/13878)._
