AWS Secrets Manager

AWS Secrets Manager announces enhanced secret sorting capabilities in the Secrets Manager console and for ListSecrets API. You can now sort secrets by name, last changed date, last accessed date, and creation date—expanding beyond the previous creation date-only option.

Secrets Manager is a fully managed service that helps you manage, retrieve, and rotate database credentials, application credentials, API keys, and other secrets throughout their lifecycles. This enhancement improves secret discovery by providing flexible sorting options across multiple dimensions through both Secrets Manager console and APIs.

The new sorting capabilities are available in Secrets Manager console and ListSecrets API in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.

What to do

  • Update your applications to use the new sorting options in the Secrets Manager console and ListSecrets API.
  • Review the AWS Secrets Manager documentation for more information on using the new sorting capabilities.
