Upcoming password reset required for adCenter API Sandbox+

  • Article

In the coming weeks we are upgrading the Microsoft adCenter API Version 6 Sandbox+ environment. If you use the API, you need to know about the upgrade in advance because you must reset your adCenter password for the Sandbox+ environment.

Your Production environment credentials do not need to be changed.

To reset your Sandbox+ Password:

On or before January 19, you’ll receive the password reset e-mail with instructions. To continue to access your Sandbox+ account, follow the instructions in the e-mail. Once you reset your password, you’ll use your existing user name and developer tokens with the new password you set up to continue accessing the Sandbox+ APIs.

Confirm your adCenter E-mail Address is Accurate

Your password reset instructions will be sent as an automatically-delivered e-mail message to the e-mail address associated with your adCenter user profile. To help make sure you receive the password reset notification we recommend that you sign in to your Microsoft adCenter Sandbox+ account and verify your e-mail address. View the Help topic, Change contact information, for more information.

Thank you for using adCenter.
