Error "Incorrect API key provided" when using DALL·E on the website

API
1

When using DALL·E on the website https://labs.openai.com (i.e. not the API) and submitting a phrase, it says:

Incorrect API key provided: sess-PZt*****l1hj. You can find your API key at https://beta.openai.com/.

Maybe I’ve accidentally deleted the API key in the past, but I now find no way to enter another API key in the DALL·E website.

Can someone please help me to use DALL·E through the website (i.e. not the API) again?

Welcome to the community.

It’s working here.

You might try reloading the browser screen.

Good luck!

I’ve now logged off and on again, and now it seems to work again.

Maybe it also can occur when the servers are under too much load because of too many concurrent users?

Same issue here.
Logged in via Google and on the trial plan.
Didn’t have an API key generated at first, but generating one didn’t solve anything.
Tried logout and log in + refreshing with cache clearing before and after key generation. Nothing worked.

Hi all,
I am a brand new user and the first experience with OpenAI / Dall E2 was an error. I thought it was my lack of knowledge. “Happy” to see I am not the only one.

When I used the Dall E2 site on Firefox for the first time I got this:
Incorrect API key provided: sess-0ys*********************************J9J0. You can find your API key at https://beta.openai.com.

I had this same error on two different computers. It’s possible that being logged in to both at once was the problem? When trying to generate an image I saw the message that others are describing.
Accessing my history also returned the “Incorrect API key provided” error on the API call but I only know that from looking at the Chrome dev tools. All that was on the screen was the loading indicator.

Logging out and logging in again did not solve it. What did solve it was:

  1. Logging out
  2. Holding the refresh button down and selecting “Empty cache and hard reload” (Chrome)
  3. Logging in again

When I successfully logged back in I saw that the prompt which I had been trying to generate actually went through each time, even though all I saw was the error. I now have 4 result sets for this same prompt and 4 fewer credits. So I am annoyed about that.

Yeppers! I am having the same issue. I am pretty much guessing from the sound of things there is not a solution yet. I will check back soon.

I am having the same error on both my usual browser and on a fresh install of Firefox without any extensions and no adblocking enabled, so it looks like the error is on the server.

Same error here. Tried logging in and out, refreshing. Didn’t help, unfortunately. Looks like the problem is on the server side.

22

Exact same error here too.

lol same here guys. Its quite reassuring and yet slightly annoying that I googled the Error and the first thing that came up here. Was hoping it was me being stupid but unfortunately seems to be a wide spread fairly new issue :frowning: I’ve only been using it for a week and was really enjoying it. I’ll be lurking closley for any fixes found! Cheers guys!
