Still need a secret to access the secret store... so steal the secret then steal the secrets in the store.

I fail to see how it is secured. (Though, I can understand that it is less bad than a YOLO policy).

I've been at a place with RSA SecurID (smart card and OTP) + active directory account as SSO authentication for everything (use one or both for 2FA). It was nice and well done.
