Secrets are a type of environmental variable that store confidential data. Users can attach them to their capsules to enable secure authentication.
While those files can similarly contain data that you would otherwise put in a secret, it’s quite easy for a user to inadvertently release this info when sharing capsules. In contrast, when you contain this information in a secret, and share a capsule, the recipient cannot see your secrets. Instead, they must attach their own.
Furthermore, if you have a secret attached to multiple capsules, and the value of that secret needs to be updated for any reason, you can change its value in your profile and the change will be reflected in all capsules that secret is attached to!

Example Secrets:
AWS Cloud Credentials: Use this to access data stored in any S3 buckets you own
API Credentials: Your Portal username and password
Custom Key: The EMDB_API_KEY you generated on the Portal
Attach secrets to your capsule before running them - simply click “Attach secret to capsule” and select from the dropdown. You can also create new secrets from the link in this dropdown!
By default secrets will be assigned to environment variables with names like API_KEY, API_VALUE, CUSTOM_KEY, CUSTOM_KEY_2, etc.
