Password credentials store a username, password, and optional 2FA configuration. Reference them from Login blocks in your workflows, and Skyvern handles the entire sign-in flow, including entering 2FA codes.

​
Creating a password credential

1

Open the Add dialog

Click + Add → Password from the Credentials page.
2

Fill in your login details

Enter a Name (a label like “Salesforce Production”), Username or Email, and Password. The password field has an eye icon to toggle visibility.
3

Configure 2FA (optional)

Expand the Two-Factor Authentication accordion to set up automated 2FA handling. See below for details.
4

Save

Click Save. The credential is immediately available for use in workflows.
Add password credential modal

​
Adding two-factor authentication

If the site requires 2FA, expand the Two-Factor Authentication accordion below the password fields. Three options, depending on how the site delivers codes: 2FA setup options showing Authenticator App, Email, and Text Message
MethodHow it works
Authenticator AppPaste the TOTP secret key and Skyvern generates codes locally on demand. Fully automated with no delay. Preferred when the site supports it.
EmailProvide the email address that receives codes. Skyvern waits for you to push the code via the 2FA tab or API. Identifier auto-fills from the Username field.
Text MessageProvide the phone number that receives codes. Same push-based flow as Email.
Authenticator App is always the best option when available. Email and Text require either manual code entry or setting up automatic forwarding.
The secret key is the base32-encoded string behind the QR code you’d scan in an authenticator app. Most password managers let you view it:
  • Bitwarden: Edit the login → TOTP field → copy the key
  • 1Password: Edit the login → One-Time Password → copy the secret
  • LastPass: Edit the login → Advanced Settings → copy the TOTP secret
  • Site settings: Many sites show a “Can’t scan?” link during 2FA setup that reveals the text key
If you only have a QR code, decode it to extract the secret= parameter from the otpauth://totp/...?secret=BASE32KEY URI.

​
Using credentials in a workflow

In the Login block configuration, select a stored credential from the dropdown. Skyvern fills in the username and password automatically, and handles 2FA if configured.

​
Managing credentials

Stored credentials show the name, credential ID, username (plain text), password (always masked), and 2FA method if configured.
To edit a credential, click the pencil icon on its row. For security, saved passwords and secrets are never retrieved, so you must re-enter all sensitive fields when updating.
