-🔓 Encrypt API tokens
+### 🔓 Encryption of API tokens
 
-> During the database migration a randomly generated key will be used encrypt the tokens if no `ENCRYPTION_KEY` environment variable was provided.
->
-> If the application is started without the presence of an `ENCRYPTION_KEY` (or if the key failed to decrypt the existing tokens), the UI will display a warning with further instructions.
+To ensure that the Tesla API tokens are stored securely, **an encryption key must be provided via the `ENCRYPTION_KEY` environment variable**.
+
+If you use a `docker-compose.yml` file to run TeslaMate, add a line with the `ENCRYPTION_KEY` to the `environment` section or check out the updated installation guiddes on [docs.teslamate.org](https://docs.teslamate.org):
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  teslamate:
+    image: teslamate/teslamate:latest
+    environment:
+      - ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_secret_encryption_key
+      # ...
+```
+
+If no `ENCRYPTION_KEY` environment variable is provided when running the database migrations a **randomly generated key will be set for you** to encrypt the tokens. In that case, a warning with further instructions will be displayed.
