Using Secrets in Memex
Users can save secrets by clicking on the key icon on the left panel, and then providing the necessary details.
The first time you ask Memex to use them you'll get a prompt from your machine asking for permission to share them. You can choose to allow it going forward, only one time, or deny access.
Memex doesn't have access to the Secrets themselves, but is able to reference them when coding.
