# API Keys

Remove API key management, added by [`vela enable api-keys`](/enable/api-keys).

### Syntax

```
$ vela disable api-keys
```

### Options

- `-y, --yes` - Skip the confirmation prompt

### What it removes

- The `api_keys` collection, and every key in it
- The generated API key management routes
- The `apiKeys` block in `hooks.server.ts`
- The API keys entry in the user nav

Existing keys stop authenticating as soon as the collection is dropped.
