Are API keys safe for crypto traders?

The question that naturally arises in the wake of considering the security of API keys for crypto traders is: Can these sensitive access credentials be trusted to safeguard our trading accounts and funds? The very nature of API keys demands scrutiny, as they serve as a gateway for automated transactions and provide potential avenues for unauthorized access. In today's increasingly complex cyber landscape, it's crucial to understand the risks involved and take necessary precautions. Are API keys truly secure, or are there vulnerabilities that crypto traders should be aware of? The answer lies in a thorough analysis of the security measures implemented by both the crypto platforms and the traders themselves.

When I go to www.coinbase.com/settings/api, I'm able to generate the keys BUT those keys have no secret or passphrase, which both are required by ANY Coinbase API documentation. Passphrase was required for Pro.How do I install the Coinbase API Connector add-on?

I'm encountering an issue with the Coinbase API keys generation process. When I navigate to www.coinbase.com/settings/api, I'm successfully able to generate the necessary keys. However, these keys do not include a secret or passphrase, which are both explicitly stated as requirements in the Coinbase API documentation. In the past, for Coinbase Pro, a passphrase was mandatory. My question is, how do I properly install and configure the Coinbase API Connector add-on with these incomplete keys? Is there a step I'm missing in the key generation process, or is there an alternative method to obtain the required secret and passphrase? Thank you for your assistance.
