<@UCZ0LS7NZ> that data does not appear to encode printable characters, and that error means that the API server rejected the secret as a result.

If that’s the string you want, you have to base64 encode it.

If you’re running on some kind of unix, try:

```
echo -n 'asd123' | base64
```

not sure what oyu mean when you say you can create it from the CLI though.
