# Authentication

The PassEntry API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys in [Developer tools](https://app.passentry.com/developer-tools) in the PassEntry Dashboard

Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure. Don't share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Authentication to the API is performed with Bearer authentication. These tokens must be attached to the Authorization header of the request.

Example:

```
"Authorization": "Bearer {API KEY}"
```

You must make all API calls over [HTTPS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure). Calls that you make over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.
