Status quo

A user can create an API key on his/her konova settings menu. Currently the user could change the API key from a generated one to a manually edited on the frontend. In fact we do not want that to happen, since it could weaken the key.

Considerations

However

  1. A key is not automatically ready to use, since it (the key request in general) needs to be approved by an admin, who is informed automatically via mail
  2. Instead of changing the frontend, we could simply enhance the form validation on the backend, where we expect a key to match certain criteria. This way, we could ensure the key to be valid, even if the user would wobble around in the HTML to make the form field editable
