2. Choose Store a new secret.

3. For Select secret type, choose Other type of secrets.

4. Select Plaintext and enter your private registry credentials using the following format:

   {
     "username" : "privateRegistryUsername",
     "password" : "privateRegistryPassword"
   }

5. Choose Next.

6. For Secret name, enter an optional path and name, such as production/MyAwesomeAppSecret or development/TestSecret, and choose Next. You can optionally add a description to help you remember the purpose of this secret later.
