Hi,
Assume I have 50 ids and passwords. I need these ids and passwords to login to a web portal. What is the best practice to securely protect these ids and passwords and where do I store these. Also only the admin/concerned person should be allowed to change this password or id. I thought of storing the ids and password in an excel file, but then its not a secured method… can somebody suggest a better alternative.
Are you using Orchestrator? If so head to Assets and you can securely store passwords in there. You use a GetAppCredentials invoke in order to call them down, also securely. Hope this helps!
I am not using orchestrator. Even if I use orchestrator, can I use the assets in a for loop ?
Actually I am not using orchestrator…!!
You can save credentials in windows,
But I would recommend Orchestrator

@PrankurJoshi: I tried this method… but the bot is not fetching the next credential. How do I use this in a for loop to fetch the next credential.
You can give them different names and save those names in a datatable and then loop them for each name it will fetch a new one
ok… will try that method…
Thank u for the quick reply
Hi,
The issue now I am facing is the password from get credential is in secure string format. I am getting an error: conversion of secure string to string is not possible.
The variable has to be SecureString, not just String.
These will help you
Thanks,

I have given the variable secure string only.
Hi @Henry,
Use the Get secure credential activity to fetch credential from the Windows Credential manager.
