Uh, stronger safeguards like LIKE ENABLING TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.
I wasnt aware of 2FA on API keys.
Is that something new?
And here I thought that's why they tell you to never share it because the API key can't be protected by 2FA (And no, IAM or SSO is not something I will count)
