Introducing the Secret Variable Type in Postman
Blog post from Postman
Postman's latest release enhances API development and testing by introducing variable types, specifically "default" and "secret," to improve data security and collaboration. Variables in Postman, often used to store sensitive information such as API credentials, now allow users with editor access to specify types, ensuring sensitive data is protected. The secret variable type masks values to prevent exposure during screen sharing or livestreaming, addressing vulnerabilities like over-the-shoulder attacks. Users can toggle between secret and default types, with secret values masked for all workspace members unless changed. This update continues Postman's commitment to secure data handling, aiming to boost productivity while maintaining tight security during collaboration.
