We don't save your api key to settings.json
, it's saved to your user home folder at ~/.wakatime.cfg
.
Ok I have no idea how my API key appeared in settings.json then, but thank you! Verified that Wakatime still works when I delete the API key from settings, and re-setting it doesn't add it to settings.json.
Setting.json is automatically synced by VSCode. Furthermore, when using a dotfile version control system, it can get pushed to public repositories. We need a way to have the API key not being exposed in plain text in the
settings.json
file.
