When you create a new API key on Mailjet, the platform will generate a unique key pair consisting of a public API key and a secret key. The public API key can be used as the SMTP username for your email sending requests, while the secret key can be used as the SMTP password.

It's important to keep your Mailjet API keys secure, as they can be used to access your Mailjet account and send emails from your account. You should never share your secret key or public API key with anyone, and you should take steps to protect your account from unauthorized access.
