Summary

Tyk Cloud has introduced a new feature called Token Aliases, designed to simplify the identification and tracking of API tokens. Traditionally, Tyk hashes all keys upon creation to prevent unauthorized access in case of a database breach, but this obfuscation makes log identification challenging. Token Aliases address this by allowing users to assign an alias to any token, which is then recorded alongside the token ID in the analytics dashboard, enhancing the ease of tracking API access. Additionally, when a developer generates a token via the API Developer portal, Tyk automatically assigns their email address as the token's alias, streamlining activity monitoring. This feature is not only available for Tyk Cloud users but will also be accessible to on-prem users soon.
