Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP REST API Key Authentication

API keys are hashed using PHP's password_hash function and stored securely in the WordPress database. The raw key is only shown once upon creation.

If you lose an API key, you must generate a new one. The plugin does not store raw API keys for security reasons.

Include the API key in the Authorization header using the Bearer token format: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Yes, you can generate multiple API keys with custom names and manage them from the admin interface.
