When using Cryptohopper, it might be a good idea to disable auto-fill in your browser for Cryptohopper. As you fill in your API key, chances are that auto-fill will record them, and try to automatically paste them in form-type fields later on. Which is not something you want to have happen.

If you create a new API on the exchange, and the old API is auto-filled, your trading bot will be stuck. Nobody likes down-time!
