@sand lagoon you should never be visiting api.stripe.com in your browser, if that's where you see that prompt

#

you write code to make a HTTP request using your API key instead, that's how the authentication works.

is this done through VS Code?

#

hmm, it could be! If that's the text editor you and your development team uses then yes!

#

are you working with a developer on integrating Stripe? If not you should look at https://stripe.com/docs/payments/no-code

I am not working with a developer. We are a small company and we use Stripe for payments, I design websites and do a bit of web technicality. One of our websites got hacked, the hack created over 10000 fake customers and I want to delete them. But doing so 20 per page will take forever, so Stripe Help emailed me that through API I could run a command that takes a list of customers and then run another command that will delete them one by one automatically or whatever.

#

So now I am trying to find out how do I get into/log into that Stripe Api

#

hmm ok! If you're not a developer it's not really safe to run your own code since you might delete real customers

#

I'd suggest pushing back on our support team and make clear you are not a developer and you'd like them to escalate it and for us to delete the customers or find another solution for you. We'd need you to give us a list of the customers though. Otherwise the only thing I can suggest is contracting a freelancer for a couple of hours to help out(or for longer, so they can also implement a captcha on your payment page as that's likely what's needed to prevent more cases of this happening)

Okay! Thank you for your help and explanation. I will do as you suggested! I appreciate what you told me!
