Maxim supports vault to store sensitive information. You can store your API keys, passwords, and other sensitive information in the vault.

* Go to `Settings` → `Vault`.
* Click on `Add key`, give it a name, description (optional) and enter the value.
* Click on `Create`

<Note>
  Value of the key will be encrypted and stored securely. Once encrypted, it cannot be retrieved.

You can then use the key using the `{{vault.key_name}}` syntax on the playground or if you want to access this using code, you can use <code>maxim.getVaultVariable</code> in the scripts of your agents, API evaluators etc. The video below shows how to use the vault variables in different ways on the platform.
