When first created my sync account, i set my own sync key (was created with a character string that i could remember because characters were significant to me).

when i reseted my sync account because lost my password, i could only auto-generate keys, but not add my own.

i want to be able to create my own key, not a auto generated.

You can't generate your own Sync Key, the ability to specify your own "key" was done away with in Dec 2010 when the sync system was updated to a new version.
