Kubectl create secret generic okteto-cloud-secret fails not found but okteto namespace create: reserved?

kubectl create secret generic okteto-cloud-secret --namespace=okteto --from-literal=key=STORAGE_ACCOUNT_ACCESS_KEY

error: failed to create secret namespaces “okteto” not found

But okteto namespace create okteto

x The namespace ‘okteto’ is reserved by okteto

So how do we proceed with secret creation?
