 ## Credential Injection
 
-Credentials from the credential manager can be injected into Notebooks. Credential injection works by replacing the following patterns in Notebooks with matching credentials for the Credential Manager: `{user.CREDENTIAL_ENTITY}` and `{password.CREDENTIAL_ENTITY}`. However, credential injection must be enabled per Interpreter, by adding a boolean `injectCredentials` setting in the Interpreters configuration. Injected passwords are removed from Notebook output to prevent accidentally leaking passwords.
