Server error when creating new API key in account settings

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to create a new API key in my Zotero account, but every time I click “Create new key” (on the Security settings page), I get a generic server error:

“Server error / Something went wrong processing your request”

I’ve tried:

Logging out and back in

Clearing cookies and cache for zotero.org

Using an incognito/private window

Trying a different browser

The error happens consistently, so I’m not sure if it’s a temporary issue on Zotero’s side or something specific to my account.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? If so, did you find a workaround, or was it resolved on Zotero’s end?

My setup:

Browser(s) tried: Chroime and Brave latest versions

OS: Wibndows 11

Zotero account age: Under 12 months old

Time of first attempt: 27/5/2025 2.00pm AEST

Thanks in advance.
