Secrets are encrypted at rest using envelope encryption and automatically redacted in logs and outputs. The tutorial walks through creating secrets in the Grafana Cloud UI, referencing them in scripted browser checks via the k6/secrets module, and managing (editing/deleting) secrets over time. Key benefits include centralized storage, automatic redaction, and easy credential rotation without modifying individual test scripts. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
