Configuration must be available to the application without exposing credentials in source control, logs or browser code. What belongs in the runtime and which access controls matter?

Use managed identity, certificate-based authentication or an appropriate secret store where the target service supports it. Do not treat SecureString as universal protection for credentials at rest or in transit. Keep secrets out of transcripts, verbose output and command-history files.
