# 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.

### **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.
