Credential Store

Paste API keys into your dashboard instead of emailing them to a developer — encrypted the moment they land, with a live test for each one.

← All guides

Connecting Google, Bing, a CMS or a CRM usually means emailing an API key to someone, who then logs into a server and restarts your app. This replaces all of that with a paste, a Save and a Test.

What it does

A Settings → Connections screen in your dashboard, one row per credential: what it unlocks, where to get it, its status, who set it, and when. Keys are encrypted at rest the moment you save them and can never be read back out of the dashboard, only replaced.

What you get

  • Paste a key into your own dashboard, no server access or restart needed
  • Encrypted at rest, so a stolen copy of the database decrypts to nothing
  • A live Test button per credential that tells you whether the key actually works
  • An audit of every change: who set, removed or tested each key, and when

Where it fits

Part of the foundation. It's what lets you connect your own accounts, like the Search Console guide describes, without handing credentials to anyone.
