# Automatically created API key

If you find a new API key in the API key [administration](https://cloud.maptiler.com/account/keys/) section in your MapTiler account you have not been hacked, it is like this for a good reason. MapTiler automatically creates a new API key if there is no key without Origin or User-Agent limitation. Without this key, you wouldn’t be able to see any map within the account administration.
