# Set Secure Text

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, decrypt it, and send the decrypted value to the application. The result is stored in a dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

## **Syntax**

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

| Argument                                | Description                                                                                                                                                             |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <p>\<encrypted input><br>(Required)</p> | <p>Provide the encrypted string to enter into the textbox.</p><p>Supported Formats:</p><ul><li><strong>Text</strong></li><li><strong>Static Variable</strong></li></ul> |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** To use encrypted text with the Set Secure Text 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)`

| Argument                                                    | Description                                                       |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);\<Dynamic Variable>(Optional) | Both dynamic variable stores the status as **True** or **False**. |

### **Example: Entering Encrypted Text into a Secure Input Field**

In this example, we explain how to input encrypted text into a secure field using the **Set Secure Text** action.

* **Action**: Set Secure Text
* **Input Value**: 2o7ZBSG4rdGpGBlgtzvX7g==
  * The input value (**2o7ZBSG4rdGpGBlgtzvX7g==**) represents the encrypted text entered into the secure input 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 secure text is entered successfully.
    * **False**: If the secure text is not entered successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Set Secure Text** action takes the encrypted value from the **Input Value** column (**2o7ZBSG4rdGpGBlgtzvX7g==**) decrypts it, and inputs the resulting text into the specified secure field. The execution result is stored in the **{Status}** variable as true.
