[source](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/security). For Airbyte Cloud, credentials are fetched using HTTPS and stored in Google Cloud’s [Secret Manager](https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager). When persisting connector configurations to disk or the database, a version of the configuration that points to the secret in Google Secret Manager is stored instead of the secret itself [source](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/security). You can also use the [secret management feature](https://docs.airbyte.com/cli-documentation#secret-management) in the Airbyte CLI to avoid storing credentials in the YAML files [source](https://docs.airbyte.com/cli-documentation). Please note that Airbyte currently uses basic authentication and does not support API keys [source](https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C021JANJ6TY/p1677068339102509). You can change the default username and password in your environment's .env
file [source](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/security). For specific connectors, you may need to follow their respective documentation to get the API credentials. For example, for the Customer.io connector, you can follow [their documentation for generating an App API Key](https://customer.io/docs/managing-credentials/) [source](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/customer-io).Bryce Groff (Airbyte)
