hello, Do you know if it is possible in pulumi portal to hide Values of resources created. I don't really want some users to see the password.

&gt; By using `pulumi.secret` (JavaScript) or `pulumi.Output.secret` (Python) to take an existing value and wrap it up in an `Output` which is marked as a secret.

i will look for the c# alternative, thanks for the help

```var secret = new RandomPassword("my-random-password", new RandomPasswordArgs
                {
                    Length = 30,
                    Special = true,
                },
                new CustomResourceOptions
                {
                    AdditionalSecretOutputs = new List&lt;string&gt;
                    {
                        "result"
                    }
                });```

would be great if you could do, say:
```var secret = new RandomPassword("my-random-password",
    new RandomPasswordArgs
    {
        Length = 30,
        Special = true,
    },
    new CustomResourceOptions&lt;RandomPassword&gt;()
        .AddSecretOutput(x =&gt; x.Result)
    );```
Compiler errors are better than runtime errors if you misspell something :wink:

If you'd like to open an issue to suggest it then please feel free to <@U012ETM7M4P> - I'm sure it's something that can be discussed

OK, _fine_... :face_with_rolling_eyes: :laughing: (kidding)

would you mind reviewing this issue real quick <@UHTP242EB>? Thanks!

```new CustomResourceOptions&lt;RandomPassword&gt;() // specify generic for strong typing
        .AddSecretOutput(x =&gt; x.Result) // specify output via expression; typos yield compiler errors
    );```

CustomResourceOptions has a LOT of things in it

is this the time to take this discussion over to GitHub so everyone can see the history?

maybe something like:

```var secret = new RandomPassword("my-random-password",
    new RandomPasswordArgs
    {
        Length = 30,
        Special = true,
    },
    new CustomResourceOptions
    {
        new AdditionalSecretOutputs&lt;RandomPassword&gt;()
          .AddOutput(x =&gt; x.Result
    }```


the downside to that is I can oopsidentally put `AdditionalSecretOutputs&lt;ResourceTypeOne&gt;` into the `CustomResourceOptions` of a resource of type `ResourceTypeTwo`

Got it working in the end. List string kind of threw me for a while. I am still quite new c#.
