-   [Update a secret using the influx CLI](#update-a-secret-using-the-influx-cli)
-   [Update a secret using the InfluxDB API](#update-a-secret-using-the-influxdb-api)

## Update a secret using the InfluxDB Cloud UI

1. In the InfluxDB Cloud UI, click **Settings**.
    
    Settings
    
2. Click the **Secrets** tab.
    
3. Click on the secret key whose value you want to update.
    
4. Enter the new value, and click **Edit Secret**.
    

## Update a secret using the influx CLI

Use the [`influx secret update` command](/influxdb/cloud/reference/cli/influx/secret/update/) to update a secret in your organization. Provide the secret key to update with the `-k` or `--key` flag. You may also provide the secret value with the `-v` or `--value` flag. If you do not provide the secret value with the `-v` or `--value` flag, enter the value when prompted.

Providing a secret value with the `-v` or `--value` flag may expose the secret in your command history.

```sh
# Syntax
influx secret update -k <secret-key>

# Example
influx secret update -k foo
```

## Update a secret using the InfluxDB API

Use the `PATCH` request method and the InfluxDB `/orgs/{orgID}/secrets` API endpoint to update a secret in your organization.

**Include the following:**

-   Your [organization ID](/influxdb/cloud/admin/organizations/view-orgs/#view-your-organization-id) in the request URL
-   Your [API token](/influxdb/cloud/admin/tokens/view-tokens/) in the `Authorization` header
-   The updated secret key-value pair in the request body

```sh
curl -XPATCH https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/orgs/<org-id>/secrets \
  -H 'Authorization: Token YOUR_API_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{
	"<secret-key>": "<secret-value>"
}'
```
