@Arivu
follow the steps

1. Sign in to your Google Account.
2. Click Security.
3. Under Signing in to Google, click App Passwords. You may need to sign in. If you don’t have this option, it might be because:

• 2-Step Verification is not set up for your account.
• 2-Step Verification is only set up for security keys.
• Your account is through work, school, or other organization.
• You turned on Advanced Protection.

4. Click Select app and choose the app.
5. Click Select device and pick the device you’re using.
6. Click Generate.
7. Follow the instructions to enter the app password. The app password is the 16-character code in the yellow bar on your device.
8. Tap Done.

@Arivu,

Store your credentials in Credential type Asset in Orchestrator and get that asset using Get Credential activity in Studio.

Thanks,

Hi @Arivu

Are you trying to get the credentials which is stored in the Assets in Orchestrator. Get Password is not the activity to get the password from assets. Use the Get Credentials activity, create a variable in the Password field to store the Password.

If this is not your case be more specific.

Hope it helps!!

Hi @Arivu

This error can occur when a user is trying to use the [Get Password ]
Note: The activity only work for the same user on the same machine.

Root Cause: Get Password activity encrypts a password by associating it with the current user. Only workflows running under the current user context can decrypt the password. Thus, executing the project from another machine or user context generates this exception.

Resolution:

1. Use Get Credential activity that fetches the credential from the UiPath Orchestrator.
