We sometimes have users/password which are assigned to multiple devices, so they are generic. I personally like to see the ability to add secrets which should not be assigned to a specific design.

Tools like Vault and LastPass are better suited for that. The only advantage of storing secrets in NetBox is being able to associate them with particular devices.

Also, in the future please use the GitHub issue template.

We're not talking about passwords for applications or such, we're talking about generic passwords like snmp passwords which are kept the same for a reason. I would not like to have to assign them to every devices separately but I would like to add them to the secrets of netbox since it's related to the devices there.

Adding secrets to sites, circuits, manufacturers, providers would be nice.

There was some old discussion in #69, now closed.

When sharing passwords between devices, probably the best bet currently is to add a Custom Field containing just the password ID (e.g. "SWITCH-SNMP-4"), which you look up in a separate password application like Vault or Passbolt

It is also not yet decided whether Netbox will support secrets for virtual machines.
