Is there a best practice for storing password to each device for in the NetBox? There is a plugin for it but it is not good due to the fact that you can't store 1 password for many devices but rather for each device we need to configure a username and a device. But is there a recommend way to do this? |

The Netbox secrets functionality (which was moved into a plugin) was not very good, for the reason you give. I suggest you use a custom field to store a "password class" or "password name", which you in turn look up in a third-party system like Vault, Passbolt, Passwordstore etc. |

This is the best practice? Is there a reason for not having a good password storage in the netbox ? Like if i will suggest a feature, will it be considered ? |

Very unlikely. The secrets functionality was intentionally removed. As to the why, you can read the introduction here: https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/introduction/ The It is however perfectly feasible to create a plugin that supports whatever usecase you need, so I would suggest that as a solution for you. |
