Configure credentials

To configure your SS&C | Blue Prism® Desktop credentials (if your organization allows this), on the Settings tab, click Credentials. The Credentials screen displays.

The following options are available: Add a credential, see Add a new credential. Edit a credential, see Edit a credential. Delete a credential, see Delete a credential.

These are your login credentials for the applications you use, and are stored in the credential store on your computer. You can also view them via Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials > Generic Credentials.
