Hi @Raj_Kumar7

You should be able to fetch the same using get credential activity.

Can you share what errro you are getting?

Have you verified if you are using the correct asset name?

Let’s assume in a modern folder named Shared we have a Credential Asset named Credentials_values. This credential asset holds credentials for different robots.

The image shows the UiPath Orchestrator interface with a page for editing an asset named "Credentials_values," where credentials and robot asset values can be managed. (Captioned by AI)

In the Studio sequence in the Get Credential activity provide the Asset Name and the OrchestratorFoldePath values from Orchestrator, and in the output, create two new variables that will hold the Password and Username values.
The image shows UiPath's Get Credential activity setup, where credentials are retrieved with the specified asset name and orchestrator folder path, and the username and password are saved into designated variables. (Captioned by AI)

In order to transform the SecuredString value to a String you can use an Assign activity that will create a new String value.

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