Clean Onboarding Done Right

Unkey's API key creation flow is a masterclass in reducing friction. Step 2 of 3, clearly marked with a subtle pill badge at the top. The hierarchy here is tight. Bold heading, supportive subtext explaining exactly what you're doing and why. No fluff.

Smart Progressive Disclosure

What stands out is the toggle-based options section. General Setup, Ratelimit, Credits, Expiration, Metadata. All collapsed by default with toggles off. This keeps the form feeling lightweight even though there's real power underneath. You're not overwhelmed, you just see what you need. The "No required fields" label paired with "Skip step" in the top right is a confidence booster. It tells users they won't get stuck.

Restrained and Intentional

The palette is almost entirely monochrome. Black button at the bottom anchors the page. Typography is simple, likely Inter or similar. Small info icons next to each toggle hint at depth without cluttering. The whole thing feels like it respects your time. That "Create API & Key" CTA is impossible to miss against all that white space.
