  Passwords and lotsa creds. I know an infra engineer who stores all of the keys to the projects he’s involved in his message to self Slack. When I asked him about it he told me ‘when I found out that the company billed my time 5x my salary to clients I stopped caring’ and I was like OK that’s fair ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Depends. Our engineering slack doesn’t contain secrets for a few reasons:

    1. Secret scanning
    2. We have a /secret bot that will take your secret, store it securely, and then present a GUI for each person with access to display that secret “for just that person”. And then after a set period of time it’s made inaccessible, and wiped from the infra.
    3. Training and knowledge transfer on secret security

      “Secret Bot” sounds great!

      Custom in-house or off the shelf?
