Configuration
The **Secrets manager** provides a unified user interface for secrets across all backends that use them. Secrets can be scoped, so different storage prefixes can have different secrets, allowing for example to join data across organizations in a single query. Secrets can also be persisted, so that they do not need to be specified every time DuckDB is launched.  
> **Warning.  ** Persistent secrets are stored in unencrypted binary format on the disk.
