 * When changing API key thus MC account the transient does not refresh:
 * `yikes-easy-mailchimp-account-data`
 * Please consider storing a hash of the api key in the transient and compare them
   before use.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi Viktor,
 * That’s a good point, and something that we overlooked. We will be pushing out
   an update in the next few hours – I will get this patch included, so that when
   a user swaps out API keys, the transients are properly cleared and the new account
   data is reflected.
 * Thanks,
    Evan
