Description
API keys are used for authentication, they are simple encrypted strings that identify an application without any principal. Project '{CloudAccount}' is using API keys - {CloudAccount.GcpApiKey}. API keys are insecure because they can be viewed publicly, such as from within a browser, or they can be accessed on a device where the key resides. It is recommended to not use API keys in order to avoid these security risks
