Install the extension

This extension uses secret storage for API keys.

⚠️ NOTE: Other extensions may store your API key in settings.json - this is not secure ⚠️

All extensions can read the contents of settings.json. If your API key is stored there, a malicious extension can easily access it. To protect your API key, it must be stored in secret storage.
