Exchange Activities Secure handling of the password?

[Anthony_Humphries]

There are several proposed solutions for this here:

'Send SMTP Mail Message' Password - SecureString

Hi The UiPath activity ’Send SMTP Mail Message’ needs a password in the properties pane for it to work. This password just needs to be a String but this is not a good solution as the password then will be exposed. I would like to request that it is changed so that it should be a SecureString. Thanks!

My solution was to store the credentials in Orchestrator for security. That way I could read the password from the asset, convert it to a string, and pass it to the activity all without revealing the password during the process.
