Hi, is there a way to validate key/values on the KV Secrets Engine? Via Vault itself or some plugin mechanism?
Since I'm populating secrets to environment variables, I would like to disallow multi-line values and also have keys in specific format.

Greetings 👋
I am hoping someone can help me pinpoint the exact use-case for Hashicorp Vault. Some time ago I did some investigation on password managers as we where sharing website (service) logins with each other. For example admin accounts. This might not be ideal, but I thought a shared vault would already be better as sharing it through something like Slack. It also would less repetetive as anyone (with the right privileges) could look what is available in their shared vault...
On I go and found Hashicorp Vault. After some investigation I found out that Vault is not for company password management, but more to fetch credentials/secrets from service to service.
I was wondering why this was the case, I understand there are no toolsets like an browser extension that works with Vault or it little bit more cumbersome for non-techs to interact with this. But is the main principle still not the same of a K/V store? I would be convenient to use both Vault for the service-to-service and any human interaction to share passwords/secrets.
