Any way to encrypt the API password

I am using the Download tool to perform API call, plus just using the basic authentication.

 

I am able to user below workflow to call the API successfully, however i have the concern on putting the password directly on the workflow and displayed directly.

 

I trying to search in the community, but still not yet able to find a way to resolve this question.

Hey @chantwinnei ,

 

You could add your password + the download tool inside an encrypted macro and users won`t be able to see what is inside. Remember that you should always have a copy of this macro since not even you can open the macro anymore.
