[Viratdata] Can I re-generate Web API Key

[Zach Mullen]

Hi Tony,

The Default api key is a special key that should not be changed or
re-generated manually.  If you want to restore it to its correct
value, just change your password and the default key will be
regenerated from the password.  You can change the password to the
same value it currently has.

There shouldn't really be a need to extend the token duration.  In the
most recent versions of MIDAS Desktop, the authentication token is
automatically refreshed by the application if it expires, and it only
takes a second or two to do that.

Thanks,
