Replit announced a new graphical interface for managing secrets, replacing the earlier dotenv file system. The GUI provides a simple form for key-value pairs, supports multiline values, hides secrets by default, and includes inline documentation and a code inserter. Existing dotenv files will be migrated automatically.

Verbatim from https://replit.com/blog/secrets:

> What made the most sense for us is to add a GUI that is easy to use for learners and keeps our advanced users productive.
