Warning: Don't Post CIKs, Tokens, Passwords, etc

It’s easy to forget, but if you post code or debug output that shows a CIK (Client Interface Key), Token, or password, others could easily ‘borrow’ this private authentication information.

We recommend replacing with syntax such as ‘CIKHERE’ or >CIK< or 45909… (only the first few characters).

If you happen to forget and post your CIK/Token, although you can edit your post, it’s most likely that this info was sent out or available for a short time to other users. We recommend regenerating the auth information, reseting the password, etc.
