Hello community!

I have a long list of tokens and one of them was unfortunately leaked. While we have misnamed our tokens they are all named identically (Yeah that’s really a bad practice). My question is pretty simple: is there a way to access to decrypted token value so that I can find its id and delete it?

Many thanks for your help!  
Daniel

Are you referring to credential token? I think you can retrieve any token by playing around with awx-manage shell\_plus. A sample documentation is provided in this place:
