# How to Retrieve a CSR from cPanel

Have you generated a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from cPanel but lost it? You can retrieve it if you previously generated a CSR. Follow these steps:

* Log in to your **cPanel account**.
* In the **Security** section, click on **SSL/TLS**.
* Under **Certificate Signing Request**, click on **Generate, View or Delete CSR**.
