Passwords are set up manually, shared through non-secure methods such as e-mail or Slack, and password rotation is often neglected because it&rsquo;s time-consuming and error-prone.</p> <p>This is a shame because with some effort, secret management can definitely be automated. If done properly, less manual work is required to build and maintain applications, and of course security is increased reducing risk.</p>
