Create a vault
- From the Azure portal menu, or from the Home page, select Create a resource.
- In the Search box, enter Key Vault.
- From the results list, choose Key Vault.
- On the Key Vault section, choose Create.
- On the Create key vault section provide the following information:

- Subscription: Choose a subscription.
- Under Resource Group, choose Create new and enter a resource group name.
- In the Location pull-down menu, choose a location.
- Leave the other options to their defaults.
- After providing the information above, select Create.
Take note of the two properties listed below:
- Vault Name: In the example, this is Contoso-Vault2. You will use this name for other steps.
- Vault URI: In the example, this is https://contoso-vault2.vault.azure.net/. Applications that use your vault through its REST API must use this URI.
At this point, your Azure account is the only one authorized to perform operations on this new vault.
Add a secret to Key Vault
To add a secret to the vault, you just need to take a couple of additional steps. In this case, we add a password that could be used by an application. The password is called ExamplePassword and we store the value of hVFkk965BuUv in it.
Azure Key Vault Generate Password Key
- On the Key Vault properties pages, select Secrets.
- Click on Generate/Import.
- On the Create a secret screen choose the following values:
- Upload options: Manual.
- Name: ExamplePassword.
- Value: hVFkk965BuUv
- Leave the other values to their defaults. Click Create.
Once that you receive the message that the secret has been successfully created, you may click on it on the list. You can then see some of the properties. If you click on the current version, you can see the value you specified in the previous step.
