+Securing Connections
+--------------------
+
+Airflow uses `Fernet <https://github.com/fernet/spec/>`__ to encrypt passwords in the connection
+configuration. It guarantees that a password encrypted using it cannot be manipulated or read without the key.
+
+For information on configuring Fernet, look at :ref:`Generating a Connection URI <security/fernet>`.
 
 Review comment:
   We had https://airflow.apache.org/docs/stable/howto/secure-connections.html#securing-connections . Did these get lost in the refactor?
