FAQ

Are these real API keys?

No. They are generated token strings. Your app must still validate and store keys securely.

Why use a prefix?

Prefixes make test keys easier to identify by environment or project.

Can I control length?

Yes. Use the length field.

Where should keys be stored?

Use a trusted secret manager or secure backend storage.
