# AWS adds synchronized secrets across separate accounts

_Published Friday, November 13, 2026 at 3:59 PM EST · Security, Infrastructure · Latest · Tier 2 — Notable_

AWS says Secrets Manager now replicates secrets across AWS accounts, extending its existing replication across regions. Security teams can rotate a secret centrally while consuming accounts receive automatically updated local copies without shared encryption keys or cross-account secret policies.

Each replica is an independent resource encrypted with a customer-managed key owned by its account. Teams can maintain a copy in a dedicated recovery account and promote it to a standalone secret when needed. The capability is available in all AWS Regions that offer Secrets Manager.
