Warning
JFrog recommends as a security best practice not to use API Keys anymore.
Cloud Artifactory version 7.63.5 includes the option to view and download the list of users using API Keys regarding the upcoming deprecation. See API Key User Collection for Cloud Customers.
With this new process, admins can identify Platform users who still use API Keys for their authentication, thus helping to migrate those users to alternative means of authentication.
JFrog has begun the countdown to fully discontinuing its support for this feature.
API Key Creation Deprecation
As of Artifactory version 7.98, you will not be able to create new API keys through UI or API.
API Key Usage Deprecation
To ease the migration to reference tokens, which replace API Key, we have shifted the control to you. Starting from Artifactory version 7.107.1, you are able to use a checkbox to control the API Usage Deprecation through the JFrog platform WebUI. This checkbox will be deselected by default: to block API key usage in your environment, select the Disable API Key Usage checkbox under Security > General.
