v4.5.0

Feature type

Other

Proposed functionality

The help text for the API token states you need to keep a copy of the key however the terminology for the field above is Token and the term token is used throughout, with new V2 bearers there is now also a key field so this could be confusing to some users.

Use case

Just a simple terminology change.
