 * Hey,
   Thank you for your message.
 * In Imagify WordPress Plugin there is no option to hide or encrypt the API key,
   but you can follow below tip:
 * By adding this line in wp-config.php, Imagify will not ask for the API key:
 * `define ('IMAGIFY_API_KEY', 'YOUR_API_KEY');`
   Hope this helps!Saransh,
