Password for data retention bot in AWS Wickr

The first time you start the data retention bot, you specify the initial password using one of the following options:

  • The WICKRIO_BOT_PASSWORD environment variable. The data retention bot environment variables are outlined in the Environment variables to configure data retention bot in AWS Wickr section later in this guide.

  • The password value in Secrets Manager identified by the AWS_SECRET_NAME environment variable. The Secrets Manager values for the data retention bot are outlined in the Secrets Manager values for AWS Wickr section later in this guide.

  • Enter the password when prompted by the data retention bot. You will need to run the data retention bot with interactive TTY access using the -ti option.

A new password will be generated when you configure the data retention bot for the first time. If you need to re-install the data retention bot, you use the generated password. The initial password is not valid after the initial installation of the data retention bot.

The new generated password will be displayed as shown in the following example.

Important

Save the password in a safe place. If you lose the password you will not be able to re-install the data retention bot. Don't share this password. It provides the ability to start data retention for your Wickr network.
