# New API Keys with version 2.4?

 * The log for version 2.4 says the API keys are no longer held in the database.
   Will updating to version 2.4.2 force a creation of new API keys? My store has
   7000 products linked via the current API keys to Printful.com for tee shirt printing.
   I am concerned that a forced change of the API keys would break by linkage to
   Printful and require me to re-synchronize over 7000 products. Any insight would
   be helpful before I upgrade. Thanks.

 * All existing keys will continue to working.
 * What happens is that the keys will be turned into hashes to be saved in the database
   in this way to make your site more secure.
    Additionally you will be able to 
   see the keys only after creating them… You can see more details about it on:
