Use a secret for authentication credentials

Instead of entering a username or password directly, you can reference a stored secret. This lets you reuse credentials across targets and manage them from a single location.

In the Username and Password fields, click the key icon on the right side of the field. A panel opens with a search field and a list of secrets you have access to. Click a secret name in the list to use it. The field displays the secret name in {{secretName}} format to confirm the reference.

To remove a secret reference and enter a value manually, click the X next to the secret name in the field.

tip

To create a new secret without leaving the authentication settings, click the key icon on the right side of the field and +Add secret at the bottom of the panel.

For more information on managing secrets, refer to the Secrets document.
