Background

Sometimes you need to reproduce a series of random characters or 'key' but you don't want to write it down, and you can't remember it. A 'key hide' contains the key but you need to know the coordinates to extract it.

This is similar to a physical key lock box.

Try out a simple example key hide (Click B2 then H2). Or watch a demonstration video online.
