*What is an API Key?*
Think of it like a digital key to your Binance account.
It lets other apps / bots / tools connect to your account to trade, check balance, or automate - without your password.
Example: Trading bot needs your API Key to trade for you.
*Why is it dangerous?*
If someone gets your API Key + Secret, they can trade on your account. That's what happened in the recent SignalPlus issue - API keys were leaked.
*3 Golden Rules to stay safe:*
1. *NEVER share* your API Key / Secret with anyone - not even support
2. *Turn OFF Withdrawals* - API should never be allowed to withdraw
3. *Whitelist IP + Delete unused keys* - Check: Binance App > API Management > Delete old keys
*Check now:*
Have you ever created an API Key? Go and check if you have any old keys you don't use.
