'In Airflow UI under connections, what does 'encrypted' and 'extra-encrypted' mean?
Simple question here. When looking at Airflow's UI, like in the screenshot below:
What does Is Encrypted and Is Extra Encrypted stand for? Is there clear documentation on this?
Thanks

'Is Encrypted' means a password value were set in the connection and it will be encrypted using a fernet key. You can see more details here. When an Apache Airflow enviromente are running with no encryption, even the logs prints the passwords connections for instance.
'Is Extra Encrypted' means that whatever were set in Extras dictionary and it will be encrypted or not.
In a first moment, you can imagine that 'Is Extra Encrypted' can be an extra security layer. This is not the case.
