Can't create API key - "Key name already used. You have already used this name for another key"


AlphaBob

Question

Hi,

Just joined, my account is approved, demo account setup, but I can't create an API key for live nor demo accounts, no matter what I try I get the same error message

"Key name already used. You have already used this name for another key"

I've tried several different browsers on my mac(Safari, Chrome, Firefox) and a fresh install of Opera that I've never used before so no caching issues,  I've tried 2 browsers on my mobile, I've tried my Windows work laptop and I always get the same error message, even though I have no API keys setup. I've tried changing the name, nothing seems to work. VPNs turned off

For techheads, on Mac Firefox I get a "400 Bad Request"

with a request of

acceptsTermsConditions   true
apiKeyName   "backtest"

and a response of

errorCode    "error.user.management.gateway.invalid.request"
errorMessage   "ApiKey creation failed."

I haven't checked the request/response from other browsers, I'm too fed up now.

Anybody any ideas?

Cheers

    • Introduction: Following the demise of FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange (CEX) landscape underwent a significant transformation that raised questions about the legitimacy and security of such platforms. As a result, consumers are now demanding greater transparency and protective measures from exchanges to regain their faith. The post-FTX CEX landscape is examined in this paper, with a focus on significant exchanges' actions while also noting important trends. After FTX failed, consumers demanded more openness from CEX, which brought credibility once again into the spotlight. Proof of Reserves (PoR) gained popularity as exchanges tried to convince users that their assets were secure. Although PoR by itself does not ensure solvency, Bitget, OKX, Binance, and other CEX were forced to adopt this approach. Additionally, it became crucial to provide protection funds to give users trust, especially in the event of losses or breaches. Binance upped its protection funds from $735 million to $1 billion, underscoring their dedication to protecting user funds, while Bitget expanded their fund from $200 million to over $300 million. Bitget Shines in the CEX Landscape: Bitget distinguished itself by growing its derivatives volume at the time of FTX's collapse, showing resilience in a challenging market. This exchange's ability to adapt and thrive post-FTX demonstrates its strength in the CEX landscape. Binance retained its dominance, maintaining stable trading volumes despite the FTX fallout, but still faced with regulatory challenges in some regions, forcing it to close its services there. Other exchanges, like OKX, also managed to maintain strong derivatives businesses. However, there was a slight decrease in spot trading volume, with DEX trading remaining relatively stable.   Trends, Legal Landscape, and the Road Ahead:  Most CEXs experienced a decline in derivatives trading volume post-FTX, except for Bitget, which increased its trading volume slightly. This growth highlights Bitget's ability to capture additional volume in a challenging environment. Regulatory challenges, especially in the US, pose significant hurdles for CEXs. Compliance with KYC and AML measures is important, as inadequate safeguards can harm an exchange's reputation. CEXs that actively contribute to the ecosystem gain favour and trust from users. In conclusion, as successful exchanges will continue to adapt, innovate, and prioritize user trust in this evolving and competitive cryptocurrency landscape, which exchange do you think will stand out strong in the coming years? https://research.nansen.ai/articles/decoding-the-cex-landscape-an-in-depth-analysis-of-2023-h1
