Starting from Bruno v4.0.0, the configuration of secret managers has moved from Collection > Secrets to Environment > External Secrets tab.
Fetching and storage
  • Fetch Secrets loads values into a per-environment, in-memory cache for the session only.
  • Secret values are never written to disk — only provider config and identifiers are saved.
  • Closing the app or collection clears the cache. Reopen Bruno and it will fetch secrets on demand.
  1. Go to Environment > External Secrets and select the secret manager you want to configure.

  • Name — the secret name, e.g. usebruno
  • Path — must start with secret/, e.g. secret/data/api-key

  2. Fetched secret keys appear under Secret Keys. Values stay in the in-memory session cache and are not persisted to disk.
