Abstract
Technologies described herein provide enhanced security for storing and updating secret data, such as a password. Based on one or more conditions, an existing encryption key or a new encryption key may be used to generate encrypted data at a client computing device. The encrypted data may be communicated from the client computing device to a secret store managed by a first entity for storage of the encrypted data in the secret store. Based on one or more conditions, the new encryption key may be communicated from the client computing device to a key store managed by a second entity for storage of the new encryption key in the key store.
