# Send Keystrokes Securely

This is a pre-built Action located under the captured textbox element. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to accept encrypted text and send the individual keystrokes to the application. The result is stored in a dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

### Syntax

**Input Value**: `<encrypted input>`

<table><thead><tr><th>Argument</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>&#x3C;encrypted input><br>(Required)</td><td><p>Provide the encrypted text.<br>Supported input formats:</p><ul><li>Dynamic variables</li><li>Static values</li><li>Encrypted text</li></ul></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: To use encrypted text with the Send Keystrokes Securely action, first encrypt the text using AES Encryption from the tool's encryption utilities. For more information, [click here](/avo-assure/utilities/encryption.md).
{% endhint %}

**Output Value**: `<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)`

### **Example: Sending Encrypted Keystrokes Securely**

In this example, we explain how to send encrypted keystrokes to a specified input field using the **Send Keystrokes Securely** action.

* **Action**: Send Keystrokes Securely
* **Input Value**: iPh64rgJnD4sSbVyDKqRWw==
  * The input value (**iPh64rgJnD4sSbVyDKqRWw==**) represents the encrypted text that will be securely entered into the target field (e.g., Password).
* **Output Value**: {Status}
  * The result of the entering encrypted text is stored in this **{Status}** dynamic variable with the following possible values:
    * **True**: If the encrypted text is entered successfully.
    * **False**: If the encrypted text is not entered successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Send Keystrokes Securely** action takes the value from the **Input Value** column (**iPh64rgJnD4sSbVyDKqRWw==**) and entering the text into the specified secure field (such as a password box). The execution result is stored in the **{Status}** variable as true.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/web/textbox/send-keystrokes-securely.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
