Security Plugin API Keys

Managing API keys for security plugins is crucial to ensure the integrity and security of your website. In this guide, we will discuss the best practices for handling API keys in security plugins.

Best Practices

Keep API Keys Private: Never expose your API keys in public repositories or client-side code.
Use Environment Variables: Store API keys in environment variables to keep them out of your codebase.
Regularly Rotate Keys: Change your API keys regularly to minimize the risk of compromise.
Limit Permissions: Grant only the permissions necessary for the plugin to function.

Example
