common attribute such as those, create a secret group with criteria using the instructions in [Create a secret group with criteria](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/RI9yu6XinWB5B~tlW_qJVA "Create a secret group with criteria to organize secrets entered in Password2 fields automatically when they share a common criteria, such as table, scope, or application.").

2. Select New.
3. At the What type of Secret Group would you like to create? select Basic Secret Group.
