When used as part of a Typing macro , the $PASSWORD$ variable might not retrieve the password and instead send the variable as is. This is a security feature that is enabled by default, but it can be disabled.
Solution
Follow the steps below to be able to use passwords in variables:
- In Remote Desktop Manager , right-click on your entry and select Properties
- In the left menu, navigate to Security – Security Settings
- Under the Password section, check the Allow password in variable option box.
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.
You can now use the $PASSWORD$ variable in your macros.
