I can't understand what you are trying to say :o
- numbsafari 6mo agoHow are you storing the API key in your database?
- vjay15 6mo agohash of the API key just like passwords
- stanac 6mo agoI think they are saying passwords are salted and we use multiple rounds of hashing to prevent rainbow tables and slow down brute-forcing the password (in case of db leak). We don't need to do that for randomized long strings (like api keys), no one is guessing 32 character random string, so no salt is needed and we don't need multiple rounds of hashing.
- vjay15 6mo agoOHHH that makes sense!
