Hi @er4a_boy. It is no longer necessary for you to manage a security key in order to use an UNO R4 WiFi board as an Arduino Cloud Device. The reason is that the security key is now stored in the Wi-Fi radio "bridge" module on the UNO R4 WiFi hardware:

So just carry on with your project. You will find that when you create a Thing using UNO R4 WiFi-based devices you will not be prompted for a key so it won't be any problem that you don't have one. If you have any problems or questions, just let us know and we'll try to provide assistance.

I have created new device with the default sketch connection to iot it seems to connect and will try to adopt the old sketch to this new one, the only thing is i have bought one for testing purpose and the other uno is about 2500km away from me sitting out on the lake feeding fish and scared to upload sketch that doesnt work over air, hopefully i will not make mistakes :)))
