Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi guys,

I am logging in to a web application in a UI Flow and the flow needs to login to the website first. I am calling the UI flow from another flow.When I am parameterize the UI flow, If I use the string as the type to pass Credentials, the credentials can be seen on the flow history. What is the correct way to store and pass passwords in Power Automations?

Cheers,

Asiri

Hi @Anonymous

You can use tracked properties of an action (like compose) to secure the credentials and those will not appear in the run history. You can refer this blog post for the same: http://johnliu.net/blog/2018/10/hiding-your-microsoft-flow-valuables-i-mean-variables-out-of-sight

Hope this Helps!
