Need help on this. Please see screenshot below
UiPath%20Error

I used what I saw on other topics
String acme_password = new system.Net.NetworkCredential(string.Empty,Password_acme).Password

but still same error occurs.
"Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression “acme_password”. Value of type ‘System.Security.SecureString’ cannot be converted to ‘String’.

Dont know what to do now.

Kindly enlighten me more.

Thank you!

Please enter the following expression. Exactly as shown below -

(new System.Net.NetworkCredential("", mySecureString,)).Password

In place of mySecureString, replace with your secure string - Password_acme
