There doesn't appear to be a way to copy a reusable key in the management UI after the initial setup.
The way it used to work... You could click on the key and it would automatically copy it to your clipboard. Perhaps not the most secure option but very convenient. Now I can't find a way to reuse a key except to save it when I set it up.

@WGandy
There is no way to do it. The key is shown one time after creation. You should save it somewhere safe.
