Appreciate the feedback @TaffarelJr - this is good feedback. There are some details that we'll definitely want to think through because - as you note - these are your secrets. 😁 But your use case makes sense. Thanks again for the feedback. |

I could be wrong, but I think it's more secure keeping some secrets on my offline password manager. That's why I would rather type passwords each time I need to manually trigger a workflow. |

Over a year... and nothing new? I do confirm that it is simply not possible to use Azure (non) secrets (at all) in certain cases. (e.g. echo from some base 64...) So please add another string type such as masked, password, secret, whatever you like, as long as it has a masking effect when you enter it. |

bump! There are situations where the secrets can and should not be saved. |

BTW: As an idea you could also write a greasemonkey script or something that reacts to the test "password" in the label. When i have time i will provide a link to this solution. If anyone else wants to write that workaround, feel free to do so and provide the reference to the script ;). |

Sorry no one from GitHub has commented back on this one :) let me add this to the set of yaml papercuts we are looking at. I don't have a timeframe but it is still something we are aware of. Thank you for continuing to provide us feedback 🙇 |

The input types for manual workflows are great so far:
stringchoicebooleanenvironmentBut I could really use a
passwordinput type.I need to deploy infrastructure-as-code from my GitHub Action, and I need to be able to prompt for Admin credentials from whoever is running the workflow. I bet I could make it work with a plain
string, but I have a feeling my password shouldn't be floating across the internet unprotected. At the very least, a masking effect would be nice to prevent the password from being seen on the screen.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
