# Use secrets

Use secrets in a Flux query to pass sensitive data like credentials.

Import the `influxdata/influxd/secrets` package and use the `secrets.get()` function to populate sensitive data in queries with secrets from your secret store.

```js
import "influxdata/influxdb/secrets"
import "sql"

username = secrets.get(key: "POSTGRES_USERNAME")
password = secrets.get(key: "POSTGRES_PASSWORD")

sql.from(
    driverName: "postgres",
    dataSourceName: "postgresql://${username}:${password}@localhost",
    query:"SELECT * FROM example-table",
)
```
