Tip: How to secure password using TTS

There will be many scenarios where you have to use your credentials while writing automation scripts. If it is a test account no one will bother, but if we want to provide our credentials then we will have to worry.

TTS provides a best option for securing the password. You need not bother/ worry that you have provided your sensitive data in the script.

In Telerik Test Studio, once you write/record the password step in a test, perform the below steps.
1. Select Password step in the test
2. Select the Properties tab from the footer on the right side of the pane.
3. Mark Encrypt checkbox.
4. Observe that the password is encrypted. After setting this Encrypt option, we cannot modify it back. The only way to enter the new password is to delete the password step and rerecord the step again.




For the same Password step, you will find another option called IsPassword.
Whenever you choose IsPassword option, it will just replace the password characters with asterisk(*), but if you just uncheck the IsPassword option you will be able to see the password in plain text.
