Use Type Secure String

Thanks

Hi @Sana_Afreen, You can use Orchestrator credential or Window credential.

to give you a brief about this, even the value you store in secure string is not secured. the user will be able to convert it to string and then see the password.

So, if you really want the user to use their credentials in the workflow, you can simply ask them to store the credentials in the orchestrator with the same name you are getting the credentials or from the windows credentials.

suppose I do not have a credential stored in orchestrator is there any other way to read credentials securely.

Similar to orchestrator, we have Windows credential manager @Sana_Afreen.

Hi
If we don’t have orchestrator then kindly have a view in this to manage credentials from being in your system itself

Or if we have orchestrator then this thread would help you in this

And if we use GET CREDENTIALS activity then to type username variable we can use normal TYPE INTO ACTIVITY but to type password variable we need to use TYPE SECURE STRING activity as the password is encrypted and is of type Secure String

Cheers @Sana_Afreen
