# Keys

> Store data source authentication information in key vaults.

Connect AI supports storing data source authentication information in key vaults. Instead of entering authentication information directly in the **Add Connection** page for your data source, you enter the name of the key vault. You can then update the information in the key vault without affecting your data connection.

<Note>
  * Currently supports Azure Key Vault. Support for additional key vault providers is planned.
  * Available for Business tier in Connect AI only.
  * Not available for Connect AI Embed.
</Note>
