Describe the bug
I was having problems getting Certbot to complete the DNS Challenge for a wildcard domain. I was using cPanel since my DNS provider is not listed in the dropdown. I was able to locate "Manage API Tokens" on my version of cPanel (v118). After creating a token, I copied that to the "Credentials File Contents" box adding a line for "cpanel_api_token = {token}", updated the other credentials and it worked! Please add this line to the template for people to fill out and update documentation.

Nginx Proxy Manager Version
2.12.3

Research direction

Confirm the template includes cpanel_api_token and that the documentation explains where to obtain and enter the token, then verify the rendered guidance.
