# Personal access keys

_Team & access · 2 min read · Updated 2026-10-05 · https://lanachat.ai/guides/personal-access-keys/_

Team members don't use a password. Each one signs in with a **personal access key** that you, the agency owner, create and can revoke at any time. The key opens your workspace with the role and creators set on their card.

## Give someone a key

Open the member in **Team Management** and find the **Personal access key** card in the **Access** section. **Active** must be on.

- **Send invitation** emails a key to the address on their card. Save an email address first.
- **Generate key** shows a key you share yourself:

1. Press **Generate key**, then **Create key** to confirm.
2. The window shows the **Sign-in page** address and the **Access key**.
3. Press **Copy key** and send both to the person through a channel you trust.
4. Press **Done**.

> Warning: A key is shown only once. If it is lost, generate a new one. Any previous key for this member stops working.

> Tip: From the **Team** table, the row menu also offers **Reset access key** for an active member.

## How the member signs in

1. They open the sign-in page and press **Use an access key** (or go straight to the **Join your workspace** page).
2. They paste the key in **Access key**.
3. They land in the console and see only what their role allows.

If the key is wrong or revoked, the page says so. They need a new key from you.

## Take access away

Press **Revoke** on the card and confirm. Their key and open sessions stop working immediately. To pause someone while keeping everything set up, turn off **Active** instead.

> Note: Disabling a member or revoking their key both cut access at once.
