4.2 Secrets

Mage provides developers three options to handle project secrets such as API Keys, Passwords, and Cloud Access Keys. The secret manager hides sensitive information from other users when projects are shared or collaborated on. Developers can use environment variables to keep secrets out of the source code, integrate with Cloud Secret Managers such as Azure Key Vault for secure storage and retrieval, or utilize Mage’s built-in secrets management system. These options ensure that sensitive information remains protected and access-controlled.
