## Welcome to Passport

Passport from Postman is now available! Passport is a secure API access system that lets your team call authenticated APIs without distributing or exposing real secrets.

> **Note**
>
> Passport is in beta.

Passport provides the following benefits:

* Secure by design — Secrets are resolved inside your cloud and never leave it. Every request is cryptographically authenticated and every call is audited.

* Granular, revocable access — Access is granted per API, not per team or environment. Passport Admins can approve or revoke access to a specific API at any time.

* No code changes required — External clients like curl, scripts, and SDKs route through a local daemon transparently. Passport works with the tools your developers already use.

* Compliance-friendly — Secrets never pass through an external network, making Passport suitable for teams in regulated industries where third-party secret exposure is a risk.

* Bring your own secret store — Passport connects to HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and Google Cloud Secret Manager.
