ProtectedString

class ProtectedString(val value: String)

Secrets should never show up in logs or stack traces. Protected strings are a lightweight wrapper around sensitive strings that improves safety without complicating your code.

This is not cryptographic memory protection. The underlying string remains in JVM heap memory and is not zeroed after use.
