Password encryption in uipath apps

Hi, Is there a way to encrypt password received from user via UiPath apps in UiPath apps itself before sending the password to trigger workflow for further process?

Hi, @phoenix2222

UiPath Apps cannot encrypt the password on the client side, you should pass it directly to a UiPath process and handle encryption or secure storage there for example - using Orchestrator credential assets or an external vault

is it ok to pass password ? I 'm aware all the communication between components of UiPath are encrypted..Just thinking on security issues

Yes, in the UiPath context it is generally okay to pass the password from Apps to a process, as long as you follow best practices, because the channel between UiPath components is encrypted by default.

Using the Apps Password field, whatever the user types is already treated as a secure field and gets passed to the workflow as a SecureString. Apps will mask the input on screen and send it securely to Orchestrator over HTTPS, so no extra encryption is needed within Apps itself.

Using Apps Password field we can get the secure string passed to the workflow, In apps user passwor…

I think thats for forms..I don’t see any option for apps

Copy that.

@phoenix2222 In general, as long as you follow best practices and not logging/saving anywhere explicitly, the channel between UiPath components is encrypted by default.

If it helps, mark it as solution.

with modern apps any trigger or change can happen only in the workflows and not on the ui level

so your way is to use it as is..
