View Password

I know this kind of defeats the purpose of the Credentials > Generate Password action, but is there a way that I can view what Blue Prism is actually setting as the password? I see some people have said that I can unmask the password and send to a text data item, but I don't see a way to unmask it. I understand that the purpose of this is that no one can know what password is set, but I would like to send the password to the admin as part of this process, so that if an issue did arise, they can login to the application.

You cannot unmask, you can…

You cannot unmask, you can amend your flow to cast the password to a text data item from where you can view it. However, in the production environment that would not be possible as you should have no production studio access.

Never mind, had one of those moments 🙂 Forgot i can simply use the calculation stage to do that and was over complicating things
