Store and rotate arbitrary secrets in Vault with the Key/Value and Cubbyhole plugins. Vault encrypts data before writing out to persistent storage, so accessing the raw storage is insufficient to access the information.

Use the key/value (kv) secrets engine to store and version arbitrary static secrets in Vault physical storage. Or use the cubbyhole secrets engine to tie an arbitrary secret to an authentication token and store it within the configured physical storage for Vault.
