# Roll tokens

If your token is lost or compromised, you can either create a new token or roll your token to generate a new secret. Rolling your API token into a new one will invalidate the previous token, but the access and permissions will be the same as the previous API token. The new token uses the [scannable format](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/get-started/token-formats/), which allows credential scanning tools to detect leaked tokens.

To roll your API token:

1. Go to **My Profile** \> **API Tokens**.  
[ Go to **API Tokens** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens)
2. Next to the API token you want to roll, select the **three dot icon** \> **Roll**.
3. Select **Confirm** to generate a new API token.
