Steps to reproduce

I am experiencing a problem with a bunch (~50) of random unexpected secrets appearing in my vault. I am using the SecretStore extension vault. All of the unexpected secrets have a name which takes the form of 8.3 characters, the corresponding secret values also take that form. These random secrets appeared after several days of use with no issue.

To reproduce I run

Get-SecretInfo

The following is an example of the output:

w3elg4bl.b0n
we2czp1o.j1r
yvb1rlqr.0oa 
zcvktvlt.kbz
zpxsp0bi.gae
zyvyhd0c.0gs

I'm running under the Local System context.

Expected behavior

For these random secrets not to be in the vault.

Actual behavior

Random secrets appear in the vault.

Thanks, these secrets aren't being created by the module-- do you have your vault configured to be locked?
