   - `viam_key_value` with the string from "Key Value:" in your terminal
 5. All set! If you copy the YAML example above, it will use these secrets to authenticate to Viam. If you have already tried the action and it failed because the secrets were missing, you can trigger a re-run from your repo's 'Actions' tab.
