How do you securely save passwords in UiPath RPA solution

If you are required to enter a username and password each time when you are using a program and you would like to automate that process, is there a safe way to store the username and password? Is there a built in encryption tool in UiPath?

Hi @CARLA_PRETORIUS

You can store them in orchestrator assets as a credential type

And use get credential activity to get them

There are two main options. As mentioned above you can store is as a ‘Credential’ type asset.

This will securely store your username and password in the UiPath cloud.
You can then grab it in Studio by using the ‘Get Credential’ activity.

You can also choose to store it in the windows credential manager on the machine it is running on. This can also be retrieved with an activity, I think ‘Get Secure Credential’.
