Encrypted secrets for workflow credentials are managed through a structured secret store that replaces insecure environment variables. You use a dedicated CLI to initialize, edit, and show encrypted YAML files, requiring a decryption key to access the runtime values securely.

Migrating API keys from environment variables involves initializing an encrypted secret store and referencing its structured credential system in your workflows. This approach eliminates exposure risks by using a decryption key to access secrets across global, environment, and per-workflow scopes.

Yes, the encrypted secret store supports global, environment, and per-workflow scopes. It uses deep merging to determine the exact runtime credentials needed across diverse deployment scenarios, ensuring the correct API keys are applied without exposing the underlying secrets.

You initialize and edit encrypted YAML files using the provided CLI's init and edit operations. This workflow manages the encrypted secret store and decryption key directly, ensuring API keys and credentials remain secure and unexposed during configuration.

Yes, the encrypted secret store supports provider customization for external platforms like Vault and AWS Secrets Manager. This allows you to integrate the structured credential system into existing infrastructure while maintaining secure, multi-scope secret management.

A decryption key is required to unlock the encrypted secret store that powers Output SDK workflows. It ensures that API keys and credentials remain protected at rest and are only decrypted at runtime to determine the final merged credentials.
