After enabling this feature, you will see a list of trusted devices. You can remove any device from the list by clicking the Remove button. Alternatively, you can remove all trusted devices by clicking Remove all devices.

In the API tab, you can create personal access tokens for authorization when working with the Crowdin API and view your account’s API call history.
Personal access tokens serve as alternative passwords for authorizing third-party applications and scripts in Crowdin.
When creating a new personal access token, you can select specific scopes and, if needed, limit the visibility of resources for the selected scopes using the Granular access option. For example, you can create a token that should interact only with a specific project and have no access to others. As a result, only the selected projects will be gained when retrieving a list of all projects.
To create a new personal access token, follow these steps:
- Open your Account Settings and go to the API tab.
- Click New Token.
- In the appeared dialog, specify the token name to identify it later.
- Select the necessary set of scopes.
- (Optional) To limit access to specific resources, click Granular access and select the required scopes and related resources.
- Click Create.
After creating a new token, be sure to record it immediately. For security reasons, it will not be shown again. You can create as many personal access tokens as you need from your Crowdin account.
You may need to revoke a personal access token if you no longer use it or suspect it has been compromised.
To revoke a personal access token, follow these steps:
- Open your Account Settings and go to the API tab.
- Find the necessary token in the list and click Revoke next to it to delete the personal access token and remove its access.
In the Calls History section, you can view a list of API calls associated with your Crowdin account. Use the filter to view all, successful, or unsuccessful calls, and select specific action groups or individual actions within them. The Application Name field allows you to search for calls related to a particular application.

- Project created
- Project deleted

In the OAuth tab, you can create an OAuth Application that could be used to make authorized requests to Crowdin API or as a Single Sign-On service and manage connected OAuth apps you’ve authorized to use your account.
Some of the most common uses for this feature include:
- OAuth apps allow you to make authorized requests to the Crowdin API.
- OAuth apps are often used as a single sign-on service. You can allow users to sign in to your service with their Crowdin accounts.

- Select the access your app needs from the list of available Scopes.
- Click Create.
After you create an OAuth application, you can make changes to it. Go to your account’s Settings > OAuth Applications to see the list of OAuth apps created under your account, the dates the apps were created, and how many users are using each app.
