This plugin is perfect for developers who want to interact with the REST API securely without relying on complex OAuth authentication mechanisms. ### Key Features: * **Multiple API Keys**: Create and manage multiple API keys with custom names. * **Secure API Key Storage**: API keys are hashed and securely stored in the WordPress database. * **Single Display for Security**: API keys are shown only once after creation. * **REST API Access Control**: Authenticate requests by including an API key in the `Authorization` header. * **Admin Interface**: Manage API keys with a user-friendly admin page. * **Copy to Clipboard Popup**: Easily copy generated API keys with a built-in popup. The plugin is lightweight and integrates seamlessly with WordPress. ### Usage 1. **Generate an API Key**: 2. * Go to **API Keys** in the WordPress admin menu. * Enter a name for the API key and click „Generate API Key“. * The API key will appear in a popup. Copy it immediately, as it will not be displayed again. 3. **Use the API Key**: 4. * Include the API key in the `Authorization` header of your REST API requests: ` Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` 5. **Delete API Keys**: 6. * To revoke access, delete an API key from the **API Keys** admin page. ### License This plugin is licensed under the GPLv2 or later.

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. ### What happens if I lose an API key? If you lose an API key, you must generate a new one. The plugin does not store raw API keys for security reasons. ### How do I authenticate a REST API request? Include the API key in the `Authorization` header using the `Bearer` token format: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY ### Can I create multiple API keys? Yes, you can generate multiple API keys with custom names and manage them from the admin interface. ## Rezensionen Für dieses Plugin gibt es keine Rezensionen. ## Mitwirkende und Entwickler „WP REST API Key Authentication“ ist Open-Source-Software.
