Thank you @AndrewHall for sharing some valuable points in your reply to above linked thread. I am adding it here to add context:
I’m happy UiPath will evaluate this issue going forward. Would you mind taking a look at my follow-up questions?
Is the password variable accessible somewhere else, when I convert the SecureString to String?
What about the Workflow-Analyzer/Governance issues?
How can I use alternative authentication methods like certificates or auth tokens as recommended by Microsoft in activities like Send Exchange Mail?
Can I access the current users credentials without storing and retrieving them? For example with API calls, I can just use WebClient.UseDefaultCredentials.
Thanks in advance!
