Managing secrets in exported YAML files

All sensitive data, such as passwords, is encrypted when you export pipelines. To decrypt the data, you need to provide the encryption salt – a random string used as an additional input in the hashing function.

The decryption salt is constant and unique for every workspace. When importing pipelines from another workspace, you need to know the salt of the pipeline's source workspace to decrypt the sensitive data.

Administrators and workspace owners can view the encryption salt in the Workspace Settings tab:
