You can generate API keys from the Stripe web interface. See [https://stripe.com/api](https://stripe.com/api) for details, or email [support@stripe.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/keep-losing-authentication/support@stripe.com?output_format=md) if you have any questions.I have to disconnect and reconnect stripe again for it to work.

In the meantime, I recommend that you consider switching to the API method until we can offer a solution, ensuring that payments on your site remain uninterrupted. * To switch to the API method, simply disconnect from the Stripe App, and you will see the fields for the API. If you don’t see these fields, it may be because you installed the plugin right after version 4.0. In that case, you can revert to our version prior to 4.0 to access the API key input fields. * Plugin Support [WebToffee Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtoffeesupport/) * (@webtoffeesupport) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/keep-losing-authentication/#post-18326532) * Hi [@paradox1981](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paradox1981/), * We’ve reviewed the logs and haven’t found any specific failed orders on our end. However, we recognize that the intermittent disruptions have caused inconvenience. We’re committed to improving the reliability of the new API to minimize such occurrences.  As part of our investigation, we have examined the requests originating from your websites to our Stripe application and found no issues with the generation of refresh tokens. Additionally, we observed that there are no further logs available in the Stripe dashboard. * Regarding the order cancellations, please double-check your WooCommerce settings, especially the “Hold stock for unpaid orders” setting. Adjusting this setting can help prevent unintended cancellations, particularly for delayed payment methods. * We will soon release an update including some improvements to our plugin. You can take the update once it is available.
