The feature
I don't know if this is helpful feedback or not, but I just tried manually typing in an API key into the 3rd party Immich Android TV app, and wow it was a pain. It had a mix of lowercase l's and capital Is and 1s, that all looked nearly identical. Took me several tries, and I eventually copy/pasted into another app to use a different font that differentiated the characters better.
I don't know if it'd be a huge pain to change the API key generation algorithm to prevent mixing confusable characters (eg: 0 and O, l and I), but that's one approach, the alternative being "display the API key with a better font".
