## What is Manage Keys?

In the dialog, enter a name and select a duration for your Manage Key, then click the `Add key` button.
Copy the Manage Key and store it securely.
Copy the key now, as you won't be able to see it again!

## Best Practices for Managing Manage Keys
* **Keep Your Manage Keys Secret**: Treat your Manage Keys like passwords. Do not share them publicly or expose them in client-side code.
* **Rotate Your Manage Keys Regularly**: Periodically regenerate your Manage Keys to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
* **Use Environment Variables**: Store your Manage Keys in environment variables instead of hardcoding them in your application.
