Secrets

Learn how to store sensitive data such as credentials and API keys as encrypted secrets in App Low Code Automation and use them in your test steps.

When you run tests on App Low Code Automation, you may need to provide sensitive information, such as login credentials or credit card details. App Low Code Automation lets you create secrets to handle this securely.

Secrets are confidential data stored as a name and value pair. These are masked to protect your information. When you create a secret, it gets encrypted and stored in the backend database. You can then use these secrets safely during test execution, keeping your sensitive data protected.
