I’m really new to DO and trying to secure an account. Someone who used to have access claims to have SSH installed and thus has some level of remote access. I can see under Applications & API Access there’s a Digital Ocean API listed. I’m not sure if I should revoke it or if that’s likely to break something else.
Any direction would be appreciated!
