+#### Bolt authentication
+
+Due to the inherent security risk associated with passing plain text passwords to the Bolt CLI tool, all ability to set it within the application have been removed.
+
+Instead, it is recommended to instead utilize the Bolt [Transport configuration options](https://puppet.com/docs/bolt/latest/bolt_transports_reference.html) and place them within the `bolt-defaults.yaml` file.
+
+If you want to utilize an `inventory.yaml` and place the targets and auth config within that file, you can. Just be sure to remember to add the target name containing the nodes you need to the `webhook.yml` file
+
 ### Server options
 
 #### `protected`
