 * I’m very concerned that Woocommerce does not at least mask keys in the back end.
   Despite my best efforts (I pay decent money for protection through my host; I
   also have several layers of protection installed, and use best practices for 
   logins, etc.), someone hacked my site. And in the other payment plugins I have
   on my site, it’s not possible to read the keys for the payment gateways, but 
   on Woocommerce, nothing is even masked. Let’s at least make them work a little!
   If nothing else, for Braintree, add all the different keys, and mask or encrypt
   them. This should be basic functionality of every payment gateway, those in the
   core and for add-ons.

 * Hi there,
 * The newest version of WooCommerce PayPal Powered by Braintree Gateway allows 
   for a one button connect process that does not require any keys. Hopefully this
   will alleviate your concerns.
 * Since there are no recent responses to this thread so I’ll mark this as resolved.
   Please feel free to open a new thread if you have any further questions.
