The password is in a variable and I enter it using an activity, but the letters are not entered correctly.
I use Direct Encrypted Text Input and it works fine, but in my current situation I have to put it in a variable
 
I'm Korean, so I ask for your understanding that I have to run a translator to post a question.

    Hi there,
     
    Please enable the highlighted "Populate text using physical keystroke" toggle button to see if it resolves your issue.

    Hello,
     
    you can try the way that @Deenuji_Loganathan_ mentioned - just an explanation: probably the field that you're trying to populate could only be populated via hardware events actions. Usually PAD is using simulate to fill in the fields - it's a lot faster, but less stable.
     
    In case of any other questions, let me know. If the answer helped you, mark it, so that others can benefit from it.
     
    Best regards,
