This iteration we finalized the secrets API for storing and retrieving secrets on a per-extension basis. Please read through the API and surrounding comments to make sure they are clear, and test that

• You can store and retrieve a value across reloads
• You are notified of changes to secrets for your extension
• EDIT 21.05.2021: You cannot access secrets written by other extensions

Basic usage:

export async function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
	context.secrets.onDidChange(e => { console.log(e); });

	await context.secrets.store('test', 'secret');
	
	const result = await context.secrets.get('test');
	vscode.window.showInformationMessage(`Secret is ${result}`);
}
