Confidential data required for an application to function, such as passwords, API keys, tokens, private keys, and database credentials. Should never be committed to repositories or logged.
Why it matters
Passwords, API keys, and tokens control access to everything — keeping them out of code and logs is one of the cheapest and most effective forms of defense available.
What's missing without it
A secret in a repository lives forever: even if deleted, it remains in history, and a leaked API key means someone else’s accounts and data in unauthorized hands.
When it is used
Everywhere: environment variables instead of hardcoded values, restricted file permissions, rotation after any suspected breach.
How we use it
The VoiceStudio key and database password are stored in a secrets manager or environment variables.
