The credential manager stores passwords, usernames, and other sensitive
information in encrypted form. This ensures that the data is not accessible
to unauthorized users.
The Credential Vault is a central location where passwords and other sensitive
data are kept as credentials. It also allows administrative access to the
credentials, allowing them to be changed or updated as needed.
The credentials are encrypted and saved in a secure database to maintain
security protocols. For instance, if the robot executes a specific task by accessing
a web page, tool, application, etc. Or log into an external client domain, the access
credentials must always be kept secure.
These credentials are uploaded and stored in the Credential Manager. This
module can be accessed inside a project. It reduces the need to hardcode credentials
within workflows, minimizing security risks associated with exposed credentials.
