Disagree. Think of any example that includes the configuration of a secret like an API key. Typically you see something like "<API key>" or "xxx-your-api-key-xxx" that signals to the user that they need to input a real value rather than leaving the default, usually coupled with a nearby note describing how/where to get said key.

The example here is of course slightly different, but I think a similar pattern could be applied.
