Secret scanning: generic password detection - public beta

Welcome to the beta of generic password detection for secret scanning. We're excited for you to test and provide feedback as we iterate on the feature.

Getting started

There is an enterprise policy to manage the use of generic secret detection for secret scanning. This is set to enabled by default. You can enable AI detection in the code security global settings at the organization level or within the code security and analysis settings at the repository level.

Once enabled, detected passwords will appear in the "Other" tab of your secret scanning alerts. Be sure to resolve alerts with the appropriate reason -- our engineering team will use data on the false positive rate to improve the model and increase precision over time.

🔗 How to Use this Repository

We will be using this repository to centralize early feedback on generic password detection for secret scanning.

You can use this repository to file issues to:

  • Up-vote a feature or request a new one
  • Let us know how the model is performing on your repositories
  • File a bug report

Discussions should be used as much as possible for questions, ideas, and open discussions with other folks in the preview.
