mmm.... i think you should to use hidden field in settings of your extension with empty default value.
plus you need your own response controller on admin side that will process changing your hidden config field.

You can use your own small tpl of this functionality (please look into  config.xml of pp_express)
Inside your small tpl you can call your response controller and save activation key into config (settings table)

example for UI  part:   line 37 https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/master/public_html/extensions/default_twilio/config.xml#L37

Code: [Select]

<item id="default_twilio_test_connection">
<type>html_template</type>
<template>responses/extension/default_twilio_test.tpl</template>
<default_value></default_value>
</item>
Then inside tpl you do ajax call to your response controller and save key
