Create a named key
Use a separate key for each device or app when practical.

Return and verify
We query OpenRouter's key endpoint without storing the secret.
Verify your key
Browser → OpenRouter. FreeToken.link does not proxy or store this check.
Your key stays in this browser until you choose to test it.
Key accepted? Keep moving.
The selected provider and model are carried into the next tools, so you do not need to re-find the endpoint.
