Explanation

The way an API client secret can be viewed after it has been created is that the API client secret must be reset or a new client created as the secret cannot be viewed after it has been created. As explained in question 137, an API client secret is only displayed once during creation for security reasons. If you lose or forget your API client secret, you cannot view it again in the Falcon console. You have two options to resolve this issue: either reset your API client secret or create a new API client. Resetting your API client secret will generate a new secret for your existing API client, which will invalidate any previous secret. Creating a new API client will generate a new API client ID and secret, which will require you to update any applications or scripts that use the Falcon APIs.
