Frequently Asked Questions

Why hash API keys?

Store hashes, compare on arrival — leaked databases reveal nothing usable.

SHA-256 enough?

For key storage yes; password storage needs bcrypt/argon2 instead.

Salt included?

Add a per-key salt before hashing to defeat rainbow tables outright.

Are my secrets uploaded anywhere?

No — hashing runs locally in your browser, free with no signup.
