Experiencing issues with account linking for your Google Smart Home Action

Hello Folks,

Each Google Smart Home Action should have its own unique Client Secret in the account linking configuration page of the Actions Console? Or one Client Secret can be used for multiple Smart Home Actions? Please guide us the best practices of Client secret uses, so that we can maintain better control and security over the account linking process.

Same client secret key can be used for multiple projects. But, be aware if one gets compromised the other ones also gets compromised. So, its better to have different secret keys.

thanks for info. using different secret keys for each client can indeed help mitigate the risks associated with a potential compromise.
