Hi Team,
Is there a way I can take RPA saved credentials like just a password and store it in a variable so that I can use this value later on as a parameter to a different component.
Thanks,
Khaiser

Hi,
In Appian RPA, reserved credentials enable you to securely store previously saved usernames and passwords from the RPA Console. These stored credentials can then be utilized within your robotic processes.
Unfortunately, I must pass it to a separate RPA element so I would need it in a Variable. I tried Reserve credentials its not useful
You can save the credentials in variable only by using these reserved credentials. Once you use "reserve credential" action it will ask you the variable to save in and you can pass it further by using "update value with password" and use that variable.
Also if you are seeking the exact string of password it's not possible in expression as Appian stores them in 256 bit encrypted form also it's not a best practice to use passwords directly due to security concerns.
Reserve credentials will only help you to save UUID of that credentials to use them further via variable to sub robotic tasks.
