Hi,

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.

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

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.

Hi Sri Ram Kaja yes that is what I did as a work around but still I was expecting some expression rule

Hi mkhaiserullaLMN ,

You can try this approach. After the password field is updated with password from saved credentials, copy the value in the password field using keyboard actions and get clipboard value action. Then click on submit or login to proceed further. This might work
