4. Click "Certificates & secrets" from the left menu. You see a list of certificates and a list of secrets for this app.

5. Click "New client secret" button. You see a pop up screen to add new secret key.

6. Enter a name for this new key and click "Add". Azure AD will create a new secret key for you.

7. Copy and paste this new key to your local file immediately. It will become hidden after your closes the screen.
