Dear all, I am beginning my journey in web development. If I have a page where I need to enter my credentials to log in, how can I do it securely, ensuring that it is not visible to others?

Hi @Matias_Clemente.Arg

You could use a Type-Into Activity with Secure Text as the input.

Hi @Matias_Clemente.Arg

Another method, you can just create an asset with asset type credential and provide username & password there.
After that you can use anywhere in UiPath studio.

Hello, yes, I was aware of that method in UiPath Studio, but I couldn’t find how to access that option from Studio Web.

But how do I give them my password, let’s imagine “Password1234”

Hi @Matias_Clemente.Arg
Follow the same steps as far as creating the credential asset in orchestrator is concerned.

As for the Studio Web, you can use the same activity as in Desktop:

A search result in a software interface lists options for "Get Credential," "Set Credential," and "Generate with Autopilot" with descriptions and control icons. (Captioned by AI)

A software interface for setting up credentials, including fields for orchestrator folder path, credential asset name, timeout, cache strategy, username, and password. (Captioned by AI)

After that you can use the Type-into as i mentioned earlier.
