How can I generate an authkey for Workshop?

For game servers, the Steam API key is used to link the game server to a steam account, and is required to use the Steam Workshop directly. Only one can be provisioned per Steam account, but you can reuse it for each of your servers.
- Visit: http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey and login with your Steam details.
- A link to this page is also provided on the Easy Setup tab of your CS:GO/CS2 server control panel.
- After logging in, you will see the following:
- For the domain name either use a domain you own, or use your game servers provided subdomain (which can be found on the "Description" tab of your game servers control panel).
- Agree to the Terms of Use, and select "Register", you may need to confirm on the Steam app or email if you have steam guard set up.
- Copy your key, then visit your NFO control panel and select the "Easy setup" tab.
- Enter your key into the "API key" field and submit with the "Commit changes" button.
- Reboot your server on the "Server control" tab to enact the changes.
