# Managing authentication selector instances

You can manage authentication selectors on the **Selectors** window in the PingFederate administrative console.

## Steps

* Go to **Authentication > Policies > Selectors**.

* To configure a new instance, on the **Selectors** window, click **Create New Instance**.

* To modify an existing instance, select it by its name under **Instance Name**.

* To remove an existing instance or to cancel the removal request, click **Delete** or **Undelete**.
