Description

Update the [Create a token](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.4/security/tokens/create-token/) doc to clarify steps for how to generate an API token in the UI.

Feedback: Didn't tell how can i see the token generated in the UI. If I click "Save", there will be a rectangle for this token but nothing to copy.

Research direction

Open the linked Create a token documentation page and review the UI token-generation steps, focusing on what happens after selecting Save. Update the instructions so users know where the generated API token appears and how to copy or otherwise retrieve it; the page should fully explain the workflow without relying on the reported feedback.
