What are the best practices for rotating WooCommerce API keys

1. Document from the Beginning: Record where your keys are being used and who/what has access to an API key. This helps in identifying affected applications and data when a key is compromised[1].

2. Rotate Keys Regularly: Rotate API keys at least every 90 days. This reduces the window of opportunity for a key to be abused if it is leaked or compromised[1].

3. Rotate Keys for Important Events: Rotate keys when developers leave the company, a secret is exposed, or a key is leaked or compromised. This ensures that access is revoked immediately[1].

4. Create and Deploy a New Key Before Revoking the Old One: Generate a new key before revoking the old one to avoid downtime. This ensures that there is no disruption to services[1].

5. Automate Rotation: If the service exposes key management through their API, automate the rotation process. This ensures that keys are updated regularly without manual intervention[1].

6. Validate Keys: Validate that keys are active or inactive as expected. This ensures that the rotation process is successful and there are no issues with key management[1].

7. Allow Multiple Active Keys: Allow for multiple active keys in the applications you develop. This ensures that there is no single point of failure and that services can continue even if one key is compromised[1].

By following these best practices, you can ensure that your WooCommerce API keys are securely managed and rotated regularly to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
