    Yes because having a user remember to do something is a great line of defense, better than encrypting it from the get go. It should just be encrypted in the file.

      I think that’s the way both Splunk and JFrog work – you generate or enter a password into the key field in a YAML file somewhere, start the service, and next time you come back the field’s been encrypted.
