No, nor do I use cli flags or config files. I put everything in a secret manager. In the end I think it has a better DX if the app can use the devs local credentials to transparently interact with that secret manager. It creates an audit log and discourages people from wanting to commit secrets in an `.env.sample` or something like that.

Audit logs for secret managers are an underrated feature. It really helps to encourage best practices as well as track changes.
