## Secret references (env:// and file://)
Any field that is normally stored encrypted in Zerobyte (passwords, tokens, access keys, etc.) also accepts secret references.
- `env://VAR_NAME` reads the value from `process.env.VAR_NAME` inside the Zerobyte container.
- `file://secret_name` reads the value from `/run/secrets/secret_name` (Docker secrets).
If you enter a normal value (not starting with `env://` or `file://`), Zerobyte will encrypt it before storing it in the database (values will look like `encv1:...`).
Examples:
In the web UI, enter the following values in the corresponding fields:
| Field | Value to enter | Description |
|-------------------|------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| password | `env://SMB_PASSWORD` | SMB volume password from an environment variable |
| secretAccessKey | `file://s3-secret-access-key`| S3 secret access key from a Docker secret |
