But isn’t the value still visible, can’t you use something like secret manager ? I don’t get the clue in using tfvars, if the key is still hardcoded ?

I mean, it's great to not hard code and use variables, but you haven't secured that token in any way.

I think a lot of people (myself included) wanted to understand how to secure tfstate, as it is produced in plain text, which is a big no/no for secrets.
