There is already RTC 8958 Secret token scheme for this, so you do not need to invent your own prefix

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8959



I see this standard linked here a lot. Did anyone read it though? It only helps with identifying whether a string is a secret, not at all the service or environment where the secret applies.


If any value does not natively support secret token sceme, you can apply secret-token: prefix and then strip it during the usage.
