Secret rotation is a security best practice that limits the exposure window if a credential is compromised. You might rotate secrets when:

- A team member with access to credentials leaves
  
- You suspect a credential has been exposed
  
- Your security policy requires periodic rotation
  

These steps will guide you on updating the password for your Clerk integration.

## Prerequisites

- You have Clerk installed through a Native integration from Vercel Marketplace
  
- You have access to manage your account’s resources, including your Clerk integration
  

### Step 1: Go to Clerk from your integration

- From your Vercel dashboard, go to the **Integrations** tab.
  
- Select your Native Clerk integration, Native integrations appear with the “Billed Via Vercel” badge
  
- Click “Open in Clerk” from resource integration page
  

### Step 2: Create new API key

- In your Clerk project, click configure.
  
- Under instance click API keys
  
- Under secret keys add a new key
  

- On Vercel’s dashboad, go to
  
- Remove the previous API key
  
- Repeat for other projects and environments as necessary
  

### Step 3: Deploy projects on Vercel

- Go back to Clerk’s integration page and confirm the new API key is present
  
- Deploy any connected projects in Vercel
