Everyone talks about securing their Auth0 application keys. Most teams completely ignore the Management API keys. That's the back door.
These keys have god-mode access to your tenant. Every user, every rule, every client. If they leak, it's game over. Yet I keep seeing them in plaintext in environment files, baked into CI/CD, or with absurdly broad, long-lived scopes.
Go check yours right now. If you're using the default "All" scopes and a 10-year expiry, you're doing it wrong. Create separate keys for specific, minimal scopes. Use short expirations. Rotate them. Treat them like the root password they are.
