You should see
The Secret Keys table with the deleted key no longer listed

The key no longer appears in the table and can no longer authenticate requests.


When to delete a key

Delete a key in any of these situations:

  • The key was accidentally exposed or shared
  • The application or integration using the key has been decommissioned
  • A team member who created the key has left the organization
  • The key is part of a scheduled rotation cycle
  • A development or testing key is no longer needed

After deletion

Once deleted, the key is removed from the Secret Keys table. Any application or service that was using it will fail authentication on the next request.

If the deleted key was in active use, update your applications:

  1. Create a new secret key with the same or updated permissions.
  2. Update the key value in your environment variables or secrets manager.
  3. Redeploy or restart any services that use the key.
