Connections: enable Edit and Reauthorize (forced)
complete
Michal Máša
If a user wants to change a connection (e.g. an API key) he/she has to create a new connection and set it in all the scenarios and all the modules using that connection.
The same for OAuth connections - allow to change the attached account or enforce reauthorize.
-------------------------------------
UPDATE: Reauthorize connection button on Connections page is shown for OAuth2 connections. You can use it for changing of connected 3rd party account instead of creating a new connection and switching it in all your scenarios. Of course, you can use it for refreshing your connection if the connection is no more valid.

Hey all, Daniel here 👋, a product manager at Make.
I’m excited to announce that most Connections and all Keys are now editable! 🎉 For OAuth connections, you can freely update the Client ID/Secret or modify additional scopes (e.g., add or remove them as needed). For other connection types, you can adjust properties like API keys or passwords. Don’t worry—sensitive values are write-only, so you won’t be able to view the current value for security reasons.
To learn more about this feature, check out the documentation here: https://www.make.com/en/help/connections/connecting-to-services#edit-connections
If you’re an app developer and want to make your app’s connection editable for Make end users, we’ve got you covered! Here’s the guide: https://developers.make.com/custom-apps-documentation/best-practices/connections-1
Looking forward to seeing how you leverage this new capability! 🚀

FYI, this would be REALLY handy for things like when working with the Slack API, where you need to add additional scopes.
Reauthorise is fine, but we need to edit the scopes, and THEN reauthorise.

I can't believe this feature is not there!

We really need this. I want to change an API key from an App that I have more than 1,000 modules on make and can't do that without having to manually change all modules, because I can't edit the API key on connections. That's a lot of unnecessary work..

Hi,
We still have a problem with non-OAuth connections, via API Key, or when we need to edit the scopes of an existing connection.
We need to edit the connection somehow. Could you re-evaluate it?
Thanks in advance

Same for Keys/Credentials when using personal access tokens in Github for example with the "Make an API Key Auth Request" action. Ideally we want those to expire on a regular basis and we have no way to update that Key w/o making a new one. If we use that in many other scenarios, that gets a little tricky and hard to manage.

+1 we have to update several scenarios due to API key lifetime which many platforms now set to max 1 year. So being able to update the API key would save us a lot of time!

PS, not only for OAuth but mainly for all others... Bearer, X-API, etc.

Any ideas when this feature will be ready for non OAuth2 connections? Like API keys?
Ben Bachar
Michal Máša hi, how should we handle a password update from our end? It is saved now under the KEYS as a basic authentication connection. Thanks
