Insert Password Into Active Field

Place a password from the Nintex Credentials Vault into the active field.

Don't forget to make sure the field you need is selected before using this command!

Either <TAB> over to it or click inside it, then you'll be set to go.

  1. Select the application for which you'd like to enter a password (the "target" application).

  2. Indicate which password the wizard should retrieve and enter:

    • From application credentials (i.e., the password configured for the target application on the current machine)

    • For a specific user identified by the value stored in a variable; or

    • For a specific user selected from a list

  3. Instruct the wizard how to handle any errors encountered. Read more about error handling.

Is there chance there will be a dynamic image next to the password field?

If you are using the Insert Password command to insert a password into a field that is adjacent to a dynamic image (a changing image), there is a chance that the next time you run the wizard the Robot won't identify the password field correctly. Such incorrect identification might cause the Robot to insert the password in a visible mode or in the username field.

To eliminate such possible miss-identification cases, you can consider the following configuration:

  • Open the appSettings.config file and add the following parameter:

  • <add key="ValidatPasswordInDynamicPage" value="true"/>

    • False value → the Robot doesn't support pages with dynamic images

    • True value → the Robot supports pages with dynamic content

We recommend to set the value to True only if your process contains such end-case. If not, there is no need to insert the parameter at all.
