# OAuth Authentication: Token Generation

> Generate an OAuth token in Invoca to authorize a third-party system to access your Invoca data via API, without sharing your password.

OAuth is a common standard used to send data to your other apps and tools without sharing your password — it works by sharing authentication tokens instead.

## Generating a token

1. Log in to your Invoca account as a Manager-level user or higher.
2. In the sidebar, click **Integrations**, then select **Manage Integrations**.
3. In the Integrated section, click the **Invoca APIs** tile.
4. Click **+ New API Credential**.
5. In the Description box, enter a short description of what app or access this token will be used for.
6. Click **Save** — Invoca generates the token and displays it once. Copy it now and store it somewhere secure, then click **Close**.

Your OAuth token won't be viewable again after creation. Paste it into your webhooks or API requests to authorize access to your Invoca data.
