# Key/Value v2 plugin
|
|
|
|
The key/value (`kv`) secrets engine stores and versions arbitrary static secrets
|
|
stored in Vault physical storage.
|
|
|
|
The `kv` v2 plugin uses soft deletes to make data inaccessible while allowing
|
|
data recovery. When an entry is permanently deleted, Vault purges the underlying
|
|
version data and marks the key metadata as destroyed.
