Article summary

Application Key Extensions are a type of User Extension that allows users and administrators to manage authentication credentials for specific applications. These extensions provide methods for accessing applications without full user logins, taking into account different access needs. They include the following kind of extensions:

  • ASP (Application-Specific Password) - Enables users to set up stored credentials for legacy applications so they can access the applications without needing to remember passwords for each.
  • Key (API Key) - Allows administrators to generate an API key for programmatic or machine-level access, enabling automated integrations and access for applications.

The Application Keys page displays each individual Application Key extension that can be reviewed and managed as its own separate unit.

Click the Assets icon Asset_Icon1 and from the left pane, select Application Keys.
