Delivery Keys
Create, use, rotate, and revoke the keys that authorise managed email delivery.
How Delivery Keys Work
A delivery key belongs to one app. The Own Auth managed email provider sends it to Own Auth Delivery when requesting an email.
Own Auth Delivery stores only a hash and a safe prefix. The raw key is shown once after creation.
Use The Key
OWN_AUTH_EMAIL_DELIVERY_KEY=oad_...Keep the key on the backend. Do not put it in browser code, mobile app bundles, logs, or source control.
How Many Keys?
One active key is enough for most apps. Additional keys are useful when rotating a secret without downtime or when separate backend deployments need independent credentials.
Rotate Or Revoke
- rotate a key to create a replacement and revoke the previous key
- update the backend environment with the newly displayed raw key
- revoke a key immediately when it should stop sending
- previous raw keys cannot be displayed again
