I was surprised by how many &quot;that&#x27;s OK&quot; answers this got. All known secrets should be either masked or tokenized, which means replacing them with either asterisks or an irreversible hash of the original value.<p>It&#x27;s a security bug if one cannot configure the masking or tokenization process. One should be able to specify the names of sensitive variables and regular expressions for known dangerous-to-log strings.
