Credential management lets you securely store authentication details for APIs, databases, and services. Once stored, the AI can use these credentials to connect to your services without exposing sensitive information.Documentation Index

Encryption modes
Sourcetable offers two encryption modes for stored credentials:Standard symmetric encryption
Credentials are encrypted using AES-256 symmetric encryption. Sourcetable manages the encryption keys. This is the default mode and works for most use cases.PGP encryption
For maximum security, you can encrypt credentials with your own PGP public key. With this mode:- Only your PGP private key can decrypt the credentials
- Sourcetable cannot read your stored credentials
- You must provide your PGP public key when setting up the credential
- If you lose your PGP private key, the credentials cannot be recovered
Managing credentials
Listing credentials
Deleting credentials
Updating credentials
Delete the old credential and add a new one with the updated values.Security best practices
- Use PGP encryption for production database credentials
- Rotate API keys periodically
- Use read-only database credentials when write access isn’t needed
- Create separate credentials for development and production environments
- Delete credentials you no longer use
