 * Hello. I just installed the free Sucuri Security plugin and I get a message: 
   Go to Sucuri **Firewall Dashboard** → **API** → **API Key (for Plugin)**. Unfortunately,
   I see nothing like this for the plugin. I’m using version 2.7.2. I’d appreciate
   knowing how I can get the API key, when I see nothing that says “Generate API
   Key.”
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fapi-instructions-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * No, I have the free plugin, and I can’t find instructions that make sense anywhere.(
   I see wonderful reviews about the plugin, however.
