Enabling Credential Protection ensures your database credentials are never stored within Upstash infrastructure. This enhances security by making credentials accessible only once—at the moment they are generated.
Credential Protection is a Production Pack feature.

​
How It Works

When enabled:
  • Redis database credentials are no longer stored in Upstash infrastructure
  • Credentials are displayed only once during enablement - save them immediately
  • Console features requiring database access are disabled (CLI, Data Browser, Monitor, RBAC)

​
Managing Credential Protection

  1. Go to database details page → Configuration section
  2. Toggle Protect Credentials switch:
  1. Save the credentials shown in the modal:
Disabling this feature will permanently revoke current credentials and generate new ones, potentially breaking applications using those credentials.

​
What If You Lose Your Credentials

Reset Credentials: This function remains available and, when credential protection is enabled, will generate new protected credentials.
