I'm not sure what the use case is here but being able to extract a user's password seems too me a huge security risk.

    Hi Stewart,

    Thanks for quick response.

    We need to get the loggedIn username and password to make a request to SAP system.

    I think there should be other ways to achieve this. Does it need to be the specific individual? i.e. could you call SAP with a generic "service account" ? (thee credentials you can store in the secure credentials store that Appian provides) and even if you do need to identify the user you can pass their userid in the payload whilst using the service account
