      Hello Community,
      I built SecretFinder, a tiny Notepad++ plugin that scans your open documents and flags possible secrets (API keys, tokens, etc.) so you can remove them before sharing/committing.

      Repo: https://github.com/carlosacchi/SecretFinder
      (open source, local buildable)

      Quick context: keeping passwords/secrets in plain text editors is risky (I’ll link a short article in the comments). This plugin helps keep Notepad++ “clean”.

      I’m planning to submit it to the official Plugin Manager soon, would love early testers and feedback (false positives, missing patterns, UX).
