+      Personal API keys have some characteristics you should be aware of:
+      <ul>
+	<li>
+
+	  Each API key is valid only for a specific endpoint.  If you try to use a key for
+	  a different API endpoint than it's created for, it will not work.
+
+	</li>
+	<li>
+
+	  The API keys will cause you to be given access with the datatracker
+	  roles you have, thus giving you appropriate access to the various
+	  API endpoints according to the role limitations indicated for each
+	  endpoint.
+
+	</li>
+	<li>
+
+	  An API key will only give you access to its related endpoint if you have logged
+	  in to the datatracker using your regular login and password during the last
+	  {{ settings.UTILS_APIKEY_GUI_LOGIN_LIMIT_DAYS }} days.  If you receive the
+	  error message "<code>Too long since last regular login</code>" you should do
+	  a regular login in order to activate access.
