# nonsensitive

`nonsensitive` converts a [secret](../../../concepts/config-language/expressions/types_and_values/#secrets) value back into a string.

> **WARNING**: Only use `nonsensitive` when you are positive that the value being converted back to a string is not a sensitive value.
> 
> Strings resulting from calls to `nonsensitive` will be displayed in plaintext in the UI and internal API calls.
