+To ease managing your passwords and secrets you can store the values in 1Password. The `.envrc` file will read from 1Password and export the values to the enviroment.  
+You will need to install and configure [1Password cli](https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/get-started/)  
+You can automatically source from the `.envrc` file using [direnv](https://direnv.net/docs/installation.html)
 
 You can also manually export the variables to your environment.
 Add the secrets to your manifest using the secrets template file, and run kubeseal on the unencrypted values. The makefile target `sandbox-secrets` will replace the variables in `./k8s/templates/secrets.yaml.template` with the encoded variables from the environment, and copy the manifest with the encrypted values to `.k8s/sandbox/secrets.yaml`. The same can be done for the prod environment using the `prod-secrets` target
