Manage Credentials with 1001fx

Credentials for APIs like Stripe, YouTube, or other SaaS (Software as a Service) platforms are essentially a set of unique keys or tokens that allow you to access and interact with the services provided by these platforms. Think of them as a digital key that grants you access to a locked door, where the locked door represents the specific service you want to interact with.

You can add and manage your credentials in the Dashboard . Depending on the service, you may need to authenticate with the 3rd party service.
