# Secrets Management

> Slai includes a secrets manager that allows you to use secrets across your different projects.

### Adding a new secret

Secrets are managed in the **Settings** page, under **Secrets**. To create a new secret, click **Create new secret.** You'll be prompted to enter a name and value.

### Using secrets inside your projects

You can access secrets inside your projects through the `os.environ()` object:

```python theme={null}
very_secret_key = os.environ['SLAI_VERY_SECRET_KEY']
```
