Remove bearer tokens from logs before AI
Redact bearer tokens safely before you paste logs into an AI chat.
What this helps with
- Authorization headers like
Bearer <token> - Accidental exposure of production credentials
- Sharing logs with AI without leaking secrets
Example
Authorization: Bearer <REDACTED>
X-Request-Id: 9f1c7a...
Checklist
- Find
Authorization:lines and redact the token value - Also redact API keys, JWTs, cookies, and session IDs if present
- Remove internal URLs and IPs if they reveal infrastructure
- Quickly scan the final text before sharing
