2. Go to Security section and then select Authentication.
   
   
3. Select Authenticate manually and then enter the details as shown below. Enter the Client ID and Secret which you must’ve saved before.
   
   
   
   
4. Next, come back to Copilot Settings and in Security, go to Settings and then look for Web channel security.
   
   
5. Once you open it, you’ll find that the Secured Access is disabled. Go ahead and enable it.
   It takes up to 2 hours for it to take effect. Till then, old settings apply.
