<p>I noticed that many official charts hosted on Google or Bitnami repositories are including Username/Password/Credentials in the Values file, <strong>without giving you the ability to use an existing secret</strong>.</p>

<p>Can you helm me understand what would be the reason behind such approach? </p>

<p>As far as I know, including clear credentials in helm charts is not a best-practice.</p>

<p>I think the maintainers expect you to override those default values when you create a release for something that's worth protecting. You can do this with your own values file or with the <code>--set</code> runtime flag.</p>
