Really valuable perspective. 🔐 API security isn’t just about where we store secrets—it’s about managing their entire lifecycle.

Short-lived, least-privilege credentials, automated rotation, and immediate revocation are especially important as AI agents and OAuth-based integrations become more common. The point about “unmanaged persistence” turning into operational debt really stands out.

Great reminder that secure credential management should be treated as an ongoing process, not a one-time setup. 👏
