If you use a password for your datasources please read the [upgrade notes](/installation/upgrading/#upgrading-to-v6-2).
Checkout the [demo dashboard](https://play.grafana.org/d/ZvPm55mWk/new-features-in-v6-2?orgId=1) of some the new features in v6.2.
## Improved security
- Ensure encryption of datasource secrets
- Embedding Grafana not allowed per default
- Disable browser caching for full page requests
Datasources now store passwords and basic auth passwords in `secureJsonData` encrypted by default. Existing datasource with unencrypted passwords will keep working.
Read the [upgrade notes](/installation/upgrading/#upgrading-to-v6-2) on how to migrate existing datasources to use encrypted storage.
To mitigate the risk of [Clickjacking](https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Clickjacking), embedding Grafana is no longer allowed per default.
Read the [upgrade notes](/installation/upgrading/#upgrading-to-v6-2) for further details of how this may affect you.
To mitigate the risk of sensitive information being cached in browser after a user has logged out, browser caching is now disabled for full page requests.
