API key security measures
The following safeguards are recommended to ensure the security of API keys in Claude Workbench:
- Storage Mechanisms: Keys are securely stored in a local SQLite database without the risk of hard-coding.
- Key Management::
- Change API keys regularly (monthly or after project completion is recommended)
- Using the Anthropic Console to Create Keys with Minimum Required Privileges
- Git Security: Make sure .env files are excluded when committing code (projects are included in .gitignore by default)
- data encryption: HTTPS encryption for sensitive configuration transfers
- access control::
- Do not share configuration files that contain keys
- Protect work computers with system-level accounts
- Key Backup: Keep offline backups of the master key in a safe place, not digital storage
API key compromise and related risks can be minimized by fully implementing these security practices.
