Click the copy to clipboard button highlighted in figure 4. Open your credential documentation and paste in your new key. Store the key in a safe place to which only you have access, as you will need it each time you logon to a new machine and after certain machine or application updates.
Changing your password updates the cached copy of the key in your profile only on the machine where you change your password. You will need to manually update the cached key on other machines if you use Specify on more than one computer.
