### Why Do I Need to Authenticate?

If you're starting with Moco in Memtime or have already authenticated but still see the authentication prompt with no imported data, the API key in Moco might not be activated yet.

#### Step 1: Activate the API Key

**Administrator Rights Required:** Only an administrator of the Moco account can activate the API key. This option will not be visible to users without administrator rights.

**Steps for the Administrator to Activate the API Key**

1. Open Moco and click on the **settings** icon in the top right corner.

2. In the menu on the left, select **Extensions**.
