 ## Security risks associated with access keys
 
-The following code example demonstrates how to connect to Azure Service Bus using a connection string that includes an access key. When you create a Service Bus, Azure generates these keys and connection strings automatically. Many developers gravitate towards this solution because it feels familiar to options they've worked with in the past. If your application currently uses connection strings, consider migrating to passwordless connections using the steps described in this document.

-Connection strings should be used with caution. Developers must be diligent to never expose the keys in an unsecure location. Anyone who gains access to the key is able to authenticate. For example, if an account key is accidentally checked into source control, sent through an unsecure email, pasted into the wrong chat, or viewed by someone who shouldn't have permission, there's risk of a malicious user accessing the application. Instead, consider updating your application to use passwordless connections.

 ## Steps to migrate an app to use passwordless authentication
 
-The following steps explain how to migrate an existing application to use passwordless connections instead of a key-based solution. You'll first configure a local development environment, and then apply those concepts to an Azure app hosting environment. These same migration steps should apply whether you're using access keys directly, or through connection strings.
