Hi @aazam-gh , thank you for participating in our Hacktoberfest competition!

As it turns out, Secrets Manager did not receive the turnout of submissions we were hoping for, but we were excited to see you use this competition as a reason to get started!

We’ve reviewed your submission, and while it doesn’t fit the criteria we outlined, we’d love to reward your participation with a free year of Secrets Manager and some Secrets Manager swag.

Please create a free Secrets org if you haven’t already, and share the Bitwarden account (email address) you’d like the year applied to, and we’ll get on that right away! In the meantime, if you can send us your email we’ll get you a code to grab a t-shirt (or any other swag) from our Bitwarden swag store.

Thank you again for your submission and we hope you join again later this year.
Best Regards,
Robyn MacCallum
