Update static secrets

Updating a static secret from the CLI uses the same command used to create a new static secret.

Create a new secret in the Vault Secrets application on your active profile:

$ hcp vault-secrets secrets create secret_1 --data-file=tmp/secrets1.txt

Create a new secret in a Vault Secrets application by piping the plaintext secret from a command output:

$ echo -n "my super secret" | hcp vault-secrets secrets create secret_2 --data-file=-

1. From the HCP Vault Secrets dashboard, select the app you want to create a secret in.

2. Click the ellipses to the right of the secret and select Edit secret value.

3. Enter a new secret in the Value textbox.

4. Click Save.
