How do you secure Joomla’s API keys?

Answer: Joomla itself doesn’t have inherent API keys to secure. You secure the API keys of third-party extensions or services you integrate with your Joomla site.

Here’s how:

Never hardcode keys: Store them outside your webroot, preferably in environment variables or configuration files not accessible by the webserver.
Use Joomla’s parameters system: Some extensions offer secure storage within Joomla’s configuration.
Strong access control: Limit access to configuration areas containing API keys.
Regular audits: Periodically check for exposed keys and rotate them as needed.
