API Key Deletion Button for Enhanced Security #1080

Open Tobiadefami opened 11 months ago

Tobiadefami commented 11 months ago

Hello,

I've been following some discussions in the community about concerns regarding the security of API keys on the platform. Notably, there are instances where users have faced unexpected charges or issues related to API key management. Examples of these concerns can be found in the following discussions:

  1. OpenAI Community Post - API Charged Despite No Usage
  2. Cursor Forum Post - Using My Own Open API Key vs. Cursor

Given these issues, I believe adding a feature for direct API key deletion could significantly enhance user security and trust. Currently, the toggle functionality between "using key/not using key" does not instill full confidence, especially for those of us who are cautious about unintentional usage or exposure.

Therefore, I propose the implementation of an API key deletion button within the platform's user interface. This would allow users to have more control over their API keys and eliminate any potential risks associated with unused or exposed keys.

I hope this suggestion aligns with your goals for user security and platform integrity. Looking forward to your thoughts on this.

Best regards, Oluwatobi Adefami
