- After generating the keys from the Dashboard, download and save them securely. If you do not remember your API Keys, you need to re-generate them from the Dashboard and replace it wherever required.
- Do not share your API Key secret with anyone or on any public platforms. This can pose security threats for your Razorpay account.
- Once you generate the API Keys, only the Key Id is visible on the Dashboard and not the Key secret as it can pose security threats for your Razorpay account.
Once generated, you will be able to see the Key Id, the date the key was created and the expiry date for the API Key on screen.
