Securing compromised secrets
Once a secret has been committed to a repository, you should consider the secret compromised. {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} recommends the following actions for compromised secrets:
- For a compromised {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} personal access token, delete the compromised token, create a new token, and update any services that use the old token. For more information, see "Creating a personal access token for the command line."
- For all other secrets, first verify that the secret committed to {% data variables.product.product_name %} is valid. If so, create a new secret, update any services that use the old secret, and then delete the old secret.
{% ifversion fpt %}
Configuring notifications for {% data variables.product.prodname_secret_scanning %} alerts
When a new secret is detected, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} notifies all users with access to security alerts for the repository according to their notification preferences. You will receive alerts if you are watching the repository, have enabled notifications for security alerts, or are the author of the commit that contains the secret and are not ignoring the repository.
For more information, see "Managing security and analysis settings for your repository" and "Configuring notifications." {% endif %}
