# Dynamics Accounts with GitHub Cannot Use Token

### Issue <a href="#issue" id="issue"></a>

Dynamic Accounts can be set to use [GitHub.com](http://github.com/) to store credentials, but this requires usage of having account information stored as clear text. It cannot be stored as encrypted information, and cannot use GitHub's token system either.

### Cause <a href="#cause" id="cause"></a>

Dynamic Accounts use Spring Cloud Config to manage account access. Spring Cloud Config for any configuration does not support S3 encryption for secrets, since the secret decryption happens on a different stage. It also cannot access GitHub via Tokens. So for GitHub configurations, credentials to access the GitHub Account can only be stored as clear text.
