## Description

Dynamic secrets are unique secrets generated on demand based on the provided configuration settings. For more details, refer to [dynamics secrets section](/documentation/platform/dynamic-secrets/overview).

This command enables you to perform list, lease, renew lease, and revoke lease operations on dynamic secrets within your Infisical project.

### Sub-commands

<Accordion title="infisical dynamic-secrets">
  Use this command to print out all of the dynamic secrets in your project.

```bash
$ infisical dynamic-secrets
```

### Environment variables

<Accordion title="INFISICAL_TOKEN">
  Used to fetch dynamic secrets via a [machine identity](/documentation/platform/identities/machine-identities) instead of logged-in credentials. Simply, export this variable in the terminal before running this command.

```bash
# Example
export INFISICAL_TOKEN=$(infisical login --method=universal-auth --client-id=<identity-client-id> --client-secret=<identity-client-secret> --silent --plain) # --plain flag will output only the token, so it can be fed to an environment variable. --silent will disable any update messages.
```

</Accordion>

<Accordion title="INFISICAL_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK">
  Used to disable the check for new CLI versions. This can improve the time it takes to run this command. Recommended for production environments.

To use, simply export this variable in the terminal before running this command.

```bash
# Example
export INFISICAL_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK=true
```
