Hey there, You might take a look through the step by step guide in securing kibana: [Configure security in Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/using-kibana-with-security.html) If you're meaning the elasticsearch.password that's in kibana.yml that Kibana uses to talk to Elasticsearch, I believe you should be able to add that field in your kibana keystore and not have to put it in the yml. Here's some info: [Secure settings | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/secure-settings.html) ---

From the documents that he referenced **Once added to the keystore, these setting will be automatically applied to this instance of Kibana when started.** For example if you do `bin/kibana-keystore add elasticsearch.username` ... So you don't need to add them to the `kibana.yml` ---
