Based on #8421, the render template view is not be capable of hiding sensitive information. Quoting @kaxil, > Yes the Rendered UI Field currently exposes everything. We should have a way of hiding this. I was unable to replicate what you had by following your instructions. The hidden sensitive value when the name of the Variable contains special keywords still renders as its original value. I think you may have saved the Airflow Variable while the value was shown as the replaced value in the Airflow Variables view thereby saving the the actual value as "********". That was the only way I am able to replicate what you had. 1. Create Airflow Variable in UI, my_value_secret. ![Screen Shot 2021-04-01 at 3 35 42 PM](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5952735/113361210-49a89480-9300-11eb-9d5c-37c3bee0ca26.png) 2. Save my_value_secret with no changes made. ![Screen Shot 2021-04-01 at 3 43 48 PM](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5952735/113361532-1adeee00-9301-11eb-8502-700cc0af2ab9.png) 3.

Also if you are able to reproduce the issue, can you print out the secret value in a PythonOperator to see its true value? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
