Only 1st 4 characters show. I cannot find an option to view the rest.

Please advise.

You probably don't need your secret for anything, so it's probably not an issue. The client id is what's used on all requests. The secret key is not shown in full for security purposes, if for some reason you find that you need your secret key, please create a new application and copy the secret when it's displayed the first time.

Also, happy new year to you too, Matthew. cc/ @zhammer

I tried to create a new aPP it only shows first 4 - NEVER see the whole key. An app I am using is asking for it. Hmmm...... Let me try again and try without the key to see if it works.

@MatthewJones0425 As Dallas said, you should never need your secret key, and I'd be highly suspicious of an app asking for yours. That said, when you generate a new key, your secret will be shown in the flash messaging as seen here. https://d.pr/i/qDKdia
