The Secrets Wallet provided by Usage Engine allows you to securely store and manage your password/credentials. These secrets can then be added into the functions within your streams using the Stream Editor. 

This allows your function to connect with an app with external systems and applications to collect or forward data without the need to input any credentials into the function, increasing the risk of exposure. Furthermore, having the credentials stored in the Secrets Wallet makes it easier to apply the same credentials across multiple streams.

An example of a Secrets Wallet being used is by creating an AWS secret and selecting the secret with the Secrets Wallet toggle button in the Configuration screen of an AWS S3 function.
