How to convert SecureString to string for password from orchestrator can be input on web app

[alex_khaw]

Hey experts,

I am new to Uipath, seek some advice for my project, we store our cyberark generated robotic password on orchestrator as type-credential. But each time i try retrieving that key from orchestrator I can’t just have it input into app as secure string type instead of string. Is there a way we can convert secure string to string before being able to use that key to log into company web app?

Thank you!

Hi Alex,
See if below article helps.

Convert SecureString to String - Get Secured Credential

As Genfour suggested we need to create an activity that returns a string from a SecureString. Until then String plainStr = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(string.Empty, secureStr).Password should work
