Power automate desktop credentials

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out is there any way to store credentials in some key vault or credential manager and use your credentials from there (in Power automate Desktop specifically)? I know that it's easy to use for example Azure in the cloud to get secrets from the key vault, but it seems to me that desktop doesn't have that option?

I'm aware that you can encrypt your credentials in action, but it's a little clumsy if you need to change them later. Since you have to go to the process, find the spot and change it there.

So how do you ppl store your credentials if you are using only desktop and not cloud Power Automate?

@rubin_boer
thank you for answering.

But no, this is not what I'm looking for since he is using power automate cloud. But I want to know how to handle credentials when you are working purely with Power Automate Desktop.

Step 1: Add an Azure Key Vault connection in the Asset Library

Step 2: Use the "Get Secret" action in PAD to retrieve credential values securely.
