hi
you were almost done
this expression will give us string output
so use a string variable in the left side of assign activity

I want to pass this to secure string. So how do I create a secure string default value?

so in that case pass directly the adPassword variable and no need of this expression
as it is already a secure string variable

what I am so confused. Pass it in directly. I cannot do that it gives me the save error? So all I want to do is populate a secure string value in a uipath activity with a value. So first I need a string with a value to be converted to secure string and then assign the activity with the secure string. I am making this too complex. Sorry you might need to dump this down for me. I am lost?

Fine
in that case we need a source of secure string
we can get that from windows credential

Correct me if I’m wrong … As per my understanding you have to convert String to Secure string

for that use below code in assign actvity

new system.Net.NetworkCredential(“”, “Test”).SecurePassword

Test is your string otherwise you can able to assign string variable as well
