Use secure string variables in certain commands

Certain commands, like httpRequest or runWindowsScript that could require credentials for some actions, do not allow secure string variables in their declarations.

A review of all commands that could benefit from secure strings is required.

Try to add a secure string variable to the body of the command httpRequest, for example.

    Levando-se em considerando o tempo expressado abaixo 12/2021, 09 meses atrás, me causa estranheza o comentário de que o comportamento da ferramenta está dentro do previsto, em se tratando de um problema de segurança que expõe nossos clientes, em especial 03 (três) Bancos. Isto nos preocupa pois nem preciso discursar sobre problemas jurídicos que teríamos que responder junto a um cliente deste segmento e é claro que não estaríamos sozinhos nesta. Peço brevidade com relação ao assunto.

    Hi, we'd like to add to this idea/enhancement request the keyboard commands compatibility with SecureStrings.


    Keyboard commands such as SendKeys and TypeText allow users to type passwords in fields not recognized by the IBM RPA recorder. So surface automation in password fields is widely used by IBM RPA and requires the user to display the password in conventional strings so the keyboard commands can type them.


    Essential customers are requesting more attention to this subject, specifically keyboard commands.


    Please evaluate a secure way to do so.

    Please consider adding this functionality to the "Send Text to Terminal" command as well.
