-The [Azure CLI quickstart](quick-create-cli.md) and [Azure PowerShell quickstart](quick-create-powershell.md) demonstrate how to store a single-line secret.   You can also use Key Vault to store a multi-line secret, such as a JSON file or RSA private key.

 Multi-line secrets cannot be passed to the Azure CLI [az keyvault secret set](/cli/azure/keyvault/secret#az-keyvault-secret-set) command or the Azure PowerShell [Set-AzKeyVaultSecret](/powershell/module/az.keyvault/set-azkeyvaultsecret) cmdlet through the commandline.
