<li>Click on <code>My account</code>.</li>

  <ol style="list-style-type:none; border-left:thick solid red; padding-left:1em;">
  <li><p>There is currently a bug preventing api key containing non alpanumeric characters from being used.<br>
If your Default api key contain for example a <code>/</code>, '''try to delete the api key and regenerate one''' that is not containing "/" and is named <code>Default</code>.<br>
We are working on the issue to update the build system so that it properly escape "/" and also get in touch with Midas team so that api key containing just number and letter are generated.</p></li>
