You can also choose to encrypt your private key by setting a password. Encryption is highly recommended for security. Press `y` or `Enter` to encrypt the private key, or `n` to save it as plain text.<br>

6. **Continue Mining Activity**: The API key has been successfully switched from Alchemy to Infura. You can now proceed with the mining options.
