API Key Storage

Important Security Information: Your OpenAI API key is securely stored using Chrome's Storage API (specifically chrome.storage.sync), which is part of the Chromium browser's built-in storage system.

How it works:

• The API key is stored in Chromium's encrypted sync storage
• The key syncs across your Chrome browsers when signed in to your Google account
• The key is masked in the UI (showing only the first 7 and last 4 characters)
• No sensitive data is stored in local files or localStorage

Security measures:

• API key format validation (must start with "sk-")
• HTTPS-only communication with OpenAI API
• No external servers - direct communication with OpenAI
