Hi,

I have a process where UiPath Get credential retrieve username and password from Orchestrator.  
The username and password need to be passed to a python code that logs in a system.  
Is there a way to pass variables (secure string) as input to python? I get the following error:

Thank you.

@erika.papp

Try `New Object(){username,password}`

Cheers

Thanks for your reply.  
I have tested but seems like password is not in the right form as an input:

Try to pass the password as a string instead. That could be done by replacing `password` with:

```auto
new System.Net.NetworkCredential("", password).Password

```
