Important
Your storage account key is similar to the root password for your storage account. Always be careful to protect your account key. Avoid distributing it to other users, hard-coding it, or saving it anywhere in plaintext that is accessible to others. Regenerate your account key using the Azure portal if you believe it may have been compromised.
Microsoft recommends using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication for your Blob and Queue storage applications (preview) when possible for enhanced security. For more information, see Authenticate access to Azure blobs and queues using Azure Active Directory (preview).
