Does the access\_key and secret\_key need to be in the pipeline stanza or can they be stored in the database like in 0.5?

I found these docs ([https://github.com/drone/drone-plugin-index/blob/2feceac8f3be03b706a2515c089eac290aba95b7/content/drone-plugins/drone-s3/index.md](https://github.com/drone/drone-plugin-index/blob/2feceac8f3be03b706a2515c089eac290aba95b7/content/drone-plugins/drone-s3/index.md)) but it doesn’t have any syntax for secrets or anything. I have tried a few permutations with no luck.

in 0.8, you store secrets in the database (goto the secrets section in hamburger menu). For instructions how to use secrets in 0.8 see [https://0-8-0.docs.drone.io/manage-secrets/](https://0-8-0.docs.drone.io/manage-secrets/)
