go get github.com/rsjethani/secret/v3

What secret is?

It provides simple Go types like Text to securely store secrets. For example:

type Login struct {
    User string
    Password secret.Text
}

The encapsulated secret remains inaccessible to operations like printing, logging, JSON serialization etc. A (customizable) redact hint like ***** is returned instead. The only way to access the actual secret value is by asking explicitly via the .Secret() method. See package documentation more reference and examples.

What secret is not?

• It is not a secret management service or your local password manager.
• It is not a Go client to facilitate communication with secret managers like Hashicorp Vault, AWS secret Manager etc. Checkout teller if that is what you are looking for.
