:results none or :results silent will not echo the output. Also, you may find https://www.kpassa.me/posts/literate2/ useful. Finally, you may put your named secret block inside encrypted heading via org-crypt (https://orgmode.org/manual/Org-Crypt.html#Org-Crypt). -- Ihor Radchenko, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at https://orgmode.org/.
