2. In the top right corner, click the **"New Application"** button.

5. After the token is generated, copy it to your clipboard (Click Copy button). You’ll need this in the next step.

   * **Important**: Keep your bot token secure and **never share it** publicly. (You can save it in a Password Manager App, secret doc, etc).
