# Dapr secrets management

In this quickstart, you'll create a microservice to demonstrate Dapr's secrets management API. The service fetches secret from a secret store. See [Why secrets management](#why-secrets-management) to understand when to use this API.

Visit [this](https://docs.dapr.io/developing-applications/building-blocks/secrets/) link for more information about Dapr and Secrets Management.
