<p class="margintop2">CASA enables you to manually create new secrets or to
manage secrets that have been previously created by programs that integrate
with CASA. To manually create a new secret, use the following procedure:</p>
<ol>
<li>In CASA Manager, click File &gt; New &gt; New Secret.</li>
<li>Type the identifying name of the new secret in the Secret ID field, such
as, Example Secret.</li>
<li>Type the name of the key and its value in the Key and Value fields,
such as, Key: Password, and Value: testpassword.
The asterisk (*) is the only restricted character in both the Key and Value fields.</li>
<li>Click the + button to add the newly formed Key-Value pair for the
new secret. </li>
<li>By default, to safeguard secrets, values are shown as asterisks (*).
To show values in clear text, select Show Values in Clear Text and
enter your master password to enable a single instance display
of the value in the Value field.</li>
<li>Click OK to add the new secret, with its corresponding Key-Value pair,
to the credential store. The secret will now display in the Secret-ID window,
indicating that it has been added to the miCASA credential store.</li>
</ol>
