Koyeb Secrets allow secure storage and use of sensitive information like passwords or API tokens. The Secrets feature can be used in Stacks. To connect third-party stores, you must configure Secrets with your credentials.

You can use Secrets to store:

• Access credentials for databases or APIs,
• Third-party provider credentials,
• Reusable configuration variables.

All Secret values are automatically encrypted server-side to ensure secure storage. To prevent unauthorized access, Secrets access must be explicitly granted in your Stack functions.
