Once you've login, it will bring you to the Console Dashboard. You'll need to create a new project if you don't have any yet. Navigate to I am Admin section and start building up your new project.

Now, lets navigate to the Credentials section. By default, the your credential will be created automatically. However, if there is none, you can always create a new credential for yourself. Copy the generated key and place it in Komento's Google Maps API Key field.
