If you have not yet created a personal app, you will need to agree to Akahu's Developer Terms and click the button labeled "Continue".
You will then need to complete identity verification and set up multi-factor authentication.

Once you have completed these steps your app will be created and your User Access Token and App ID Token will be shown to you.
