# Upgrade to Grafana v8.1
{{< docs/shared "upgrade/upgrade-common-tasks.md" >}}
## Technical notes
This section describes technical changes associated with this release of Grafana.
### Use of unencrypted passwords for data sources no longer supported
As of Grafana v8.1, we no longer support unencrypted storage of passwords and basic auth passwords.
{{% admonition type="note" %}}
Since Grafana v6.2, new or updated data sources store passwords and basic auth passwords encrypted. However, unencrypted passwords and basic auth passwords were also allowed.
{{% /admonition %}}
To migrate to encrypted storage, use a `grafana-cli` command to migrate all of your data sources to use encrypted storage of secrets. See [migrate data and encrypt passwords]({{< relref "../../cli#migrate-data-and-encrypt-passwords" >}}) for further instructions.
