If you are going to use the UI to create new validator key please note that while generating validator keys always use a new mnemonic every time. If you want to use the existing mnemonic kindly change the index number (The index number should not be the same as last time when you create your keys). If you keep the same index and same mnemonic It’ll generate the same validator key files which may lead you for double deposits on Ethereum deposit smart contract.
