 * Hey. Would it possible for Rackspace CDN to store the API key in the database
   in encrypted format instead of clear text?
 * The WordPress database login is stored in the web root in clear text, therefore
   storing the API key in the database in clear text is equivalent to storing the
   un-encrypted API key on the web root, very insecure. The API key is the most 
   critical credential of a Rackspace account, because it gives full access to every
   resource in the account.
 * Thanks,
 * Kirk
