Failed to generate API keys. Please visit the API Management page on the Binance website. | Binance introduced a requirement that the first new API key created after 7th August 2023 on your account, will require you to visit Binance.com and accept a user agreement displayed on the API Management page. Please accept the agreement and then link your account to 3Commas again. |
This account is already connected | The exchange account that you are trying to connect is already connected to 3Commas. You can connect the same exchange account only once. |

General information about API connection issues
Use the Fast Connect feature to update the API connection
If the exchange supports Fast Connect feature (Binance, OKX), update the API connection with it! Delete the old API keys on your exchange, and update the connection using Fast Connect (Reconnect) feature.
Here is an example of updating the Binance connection with Fast Connect.
Ensure exchange is available on 3Commas (just in case)

It often tries to translate API keys. Even one additional space makes keys invalid.
Use IP binding, whitelist, or restricted access everywhere it's required
Please make sure to input all the IP addresses that are shown on the exchange connecting window, which looks like this:
Select required permissions
When you create or edit API keys, you can choose what the key allows.
It varies across different exchanges, so it is better to check what permissions to enable on your exchange.
Copy keys fully and without extra characters
If the exchange provides a copy button near keys, use it.
Paste keys to a text editor, then compare with keys you see on the exchange. If they're different, select it more carefully or with a double click.
VERY IMPORTANT P.S.!
In aim to not lose your current history and active deals and bots, please update EXISTING connection, and don't create a new one:
