• Set sensitive configuration items to encrypted values, e.g. PASSWORD=enc:e7293477f3fa2a72935913624eecdeb5, the real plain value is passwordfortest.
• Use python manage.py django_safe_settings_encrypt PLAIN_DATA to get the encrypted value, e.g.

  C:\git\django-safe-settings>python manage.py django_safe_settings_encrypt passwordfortest
      plain value = passwordfortest
  encrypted value = enc:e7293477f3fa2a72935913624eecdeb5
  

• We use fastutils.cipherutils.AesCipher for encryption, and the password is related to Django's SECRET_KEY, so when the SECRET_KEY's value changes, the encrypted value must be regenerated.
• You can use encrypt values anywhere in Django's settings.
