  4. In the left menu, navigate to the Security – Security Settings section.
  5. Under Password, check the Allow password in variable option box. This option needs to be checked so that the typing macro can send the password to the remote session.

If the option is greyed out, you need to activate Allow password variables for all entries and Allow password variable in macros in Administration – System Settings – Password Policy.

Also, if you are using the Linked (vault) credential mode in your entry, you will need to enable the Allow password in variable option in the linked credential entry as well.
