How do devs manage multiple API keys?

3 points by dhruv_tek ↗ HN
Hey all, just curious to know how devs here are managing their APIs? Once we start hooking into multiple APIs, the amount of API keys / secrets / OAuth connections becomes cumbersome to manage. Wondering what measures people are taking with making management of these connections easy and also secure these keys, especially with potential remote working developers etc.

As an client: put it in the config or the database. The later if i have some sort of tenants or the api keys are not tied to the server. on the server: treat it as an password and show it only once.
