The practices that are not recommended for managing secrets are:

• Cache Secrets locally once a year: Even if it's done infrequently, caching secrets locally poses a security risk.
• Cache Secrets locally many times a day: Frequent local caching increases the exposure to potential security threats.

Why these practices are discouraged:

Caching secrets locally, regardless of the frequency, can lead to unauthorized access or exposure of sensitive information. It's advisable to avoid local caching altogether and instead use secure, centralized solutions for secret management.

Recommended practices include:

• Use a separate solution or platform: Ensures secrets are stored securely and accessed only by authorized entities.
• Rotating secrets: Essential for reducing the impact of potential security breaches.

Adhering to these guidelines helps in safeguarding your applications and sensitive data effectively.
