Sometimes you might want to generate a temporary API key (password) that you can use to authenticate with your proxies. For example, if you are using a captcha solving service that requires your API key.
To create a temporary password, you will need to make a post request to "api.proxyrack.net/v1-beta/password" with a "label" and "expireTime" in the request body. The label is a reference for you to know which temporary password it is. The "expireTime" can be either a number of seconds or a UNIX timestamp, and will be the amount of time that the temporary password is valid for.
