The Credential Vault is a secure store for the credentials your communication channels and integrations use to authenticate with external systems — SFTP servers, HTTP endpoints, and third-party services. Storing credentials centrally means you manage them in one place rather than entering them repeatedly across your connection configurations.

Getting to the Credential Vault

1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner of any Orderful page.
2. Select Credential Vault.

Credential categories

Each credential set belongs to one of two categories, displayed as the Type in both the list view and the credential detail:

Use the Login and API filter tabs at the top of the list to browse by category.

Copying a secret without revealing it

Credential fields are masked by default (displayed as ••••••). You can copy the underlying value directly to your clipboard without the value ever appearing on screen:

1. Open a credential set from the list.
2. Locate the masked field you want to copy.
3. Click the Copy icon to the right of the field.
4. The value is written to your clipboard. The field remains masked throughout.

A brief Copied confirmation appears inline next to the icon when the copy succeeds. If the copy fails (for example, if clipboard access is blocked by your browser), an error notification appears instead.

Revealing a secret

To display a masked value on screen:

1. Click the Reveal icon (eye) to the left of the field.
2. The value appears in plain text.
3. Click the icon again to re-mask it.

Where you only need to transfer a value — for example, pasting it into another system — prefer Copy over Reveal to keep the secret off screen.
