04/23/2026, 12:13 PMsecret.yaml file with your new password:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: airbyte-auth-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
instance-admin-password: YourNewStrongPassword
2. Apply the secret to your cluster:
kubectl apply -f secret.yaml -n <YOUR_NAMESPACE>
3. Restart the airbyte-server pod for the changes to take effect. To verify your current credentials, you can retrieve the existing secret:
kubectl get secret airbyte-auth-secrets -n <YOUR_NAMESPACE> -o yaml
The values are base64-encoded. To decode the password:
echo '<base64-encoded-value>' | base64 -d

> Note: There is currently no password rotation option in the Airbyte UI â the Kubernetes Secret approach is the supported method for Helm deployments. đ 0 button đ 0 button âšī¸ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
