## Beskrivelse

**WP REST API Key Authentication** adds a simple API key-based authentication method
to the WordPress REST API. This plugin is perfect for developers who want to interact
with the REST API securely without relying on complex OAuth authentication mechanisms.

### Key Features:

 * **Multiple API Keys**: Create and manage multiple API keys with custom names.
 * **Secure API Key Storage**: API keys are hashed and securely stored in the WordPress
   database.
 * **Single Display for Security**: API keys are shown only once after creation.
 * **REST API Access Control**: Authenticate requests by including an API key in
   the `Authorization` header.
 * **Admin Interface**: Manage API keys with a user-friendly admin page.
 * **Copy to Clipboard Popup**: Easily copy generated API keys with a built-in popup.

The plugin is lightweight and integrates seamlessly with WordPress.

### Usage

 1. **Generate an API Key**:
 2.  * Go to **API Keys** in the WordPress admin menu.
     * Enter a name for the API key and click “Generate API Key”.
     * The API key will appear in a popup. Copy it immediately, as it will not be displayed
       again.
 3. **Use the API Key**:
 4.  * Include the API key in the `Authorization` header of your REST API requests:
       `
       Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`
 5. **Delete API Keys**:
 6.  * To revoke access, delete an API key from the **API Keys** admin page.

## FAQ

### How are API keys stored?

API keys are hashed using PHP’s `password_hash` function and stored securely in 
the WordPress database. The raw key is only shown once upon creation.

### What happens if I lose an API key?

If you lose an API key, you must generate a new one. The plugin does not store raw
API keys for security reasons.

### How do I authenticate a REST API request?

Include the API key in the `Authorization` header using the `Bearer` token format:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

### Can I create multiple API keys?

Yes, you can generate multiple API keys with custom names and manage them from the
admin interface.
