Hide credentials

[svenrr]

Good afternoon,
I am currently using “sharing” of streamlit, but I have scripts where login data is available (for example to APIs). Can this sensitive information be hidden or should I use another service like Heroku?

Thanks!

Hey @svenrr,

Loading secrets (generally from environment variables defined in an admin interface, instead of hardcoded in your scripts) with Streamlit Sharing is a popular request that is being worked on. You can refer to the following threads:

Secrets when using Streamlit Streaming

When I deploy to my own server, I read authentication secrets (e.g., for an API call) in environment variables that are loaded by the application. This way, I can safely use un-modified code that is in a public github repo. Is there a way to set an environment variable when using Streamlit Serving? If not, do you have a recommended approach?

Secrets management

Is there a way / planned way to load secrets?
