AI BriefingEnhanced security for graphical repl
Key point
Replit now automatically secures VNC connections for graphical repls and supports password setup for the noVNC client.
Details
All VNC connections are automatically secured through the same token used for repl connections. Security is applied transparently without requiring any separate setup from the user.
If you want to use the default noVNC client, you can connect using the runner username and a password you set yourself. To do this, you need to create a Secret named VNC_PASSWORD.
Due to a limitation of the currently used RFB (Remote Framebuffer) protocol, only the first 8 characters of the password are recognized. Therefore, for security, it is recommended to use a password manager to generate a complex password.
