Security recommendations
- Never expose it in frontend code: system tokens manage your account, so use them only in your own backend services or local scripts
- Don’t share it: don’t commit it to a repository, or paste it into tickets, chats, or screenshots
- Don’t hard-code it: inject it through environment variables or a secrets manager (CI/CD secrets, Vault, etc.)
- Clean up regularly: delete tokens you no longer use; if you suspect a leak, delete the token immediately and create a new one
