How to share an API key

Keys end up in issue trackers and screenshots. A one-view link leaves nothing behind.

  1. 1Paste the key, and add a passphrase you tell the recipient another way.
  2. 2Set the expiry to the shortest window that is workable.
  3. 3Send the link; rotate the key if it is not opened when you expected.

If the key is for a service that supports scoped tokens, send a scoped one.
