Rotate Clerk API keys

1 min read
Last updated December 7, 2025

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.

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