+#### Helmfile new secret: `secrets.nextcloud.statusPassword`
+
+**Target group:** All existing deployments that use self-defined secrets and have deployed Nextcloud.
+
+Access to Nextcloud's `/status.php` requires now BasicAuth. The related password is set in
+[`secrets.yaml.gotmpl`](../helmfile/environments/default/secrets.yaml.gotmpl) by the key
+`secrets.nextcloud.statusPassword`.
+
+If you define your own secrets, please ensure that you provide a value for this secret, otherwise it will
+be derived from the `MASTER_PASSWORD`.
+
+> [!note]
+> The username for the BasicAuth is hardcoded to "status-access"
+
