 Hello,

I've added a password to the Automate Credential Management but now can't figure out how to call the password for use in a task?

In Credential Management I added a password for a website login.  The task will login to the website.  For the set password field I can't find anywhere in the expression builder to select the password from the credential manager?

This is in Automate Enterprise.

 

Thanks!

Clint

Hi Clint,

The passwords entered into the Credential Manager can only be used in password fields inside certain actions.  For example, if you add an "FTP: Logon" action, you'll see a key icon to the right of the password field (see attached screenshot).  If you click on this key, it will show a list of available passwords to select.

To enter a password onto a website, you would need to use an "Interactivity: Set Text" or "Web Browser: Set Value" action which neither have the option to use the Credential Manager passwords.  In this case, you can save the password as a Constant and reference the Constant in the action.

Hi Devin,

Thank you, that explains why I can't find the credential when using  "Interactivity: Set Text" or "Web Browser: Set Value"  as I'm doing.  Thank you for the information.
