Power Automate is introducing Secure Credential Retrieval by April 30, 2025, allowing users to securely manage and retrieve credentials in desktop workflows, initially integrating with CyberArk for secure credential management.
Direct effects for Operations**
Credential Management Risk
Without proper preparation for the new 'Get Credential' action, users may continue to handle credentials manually, increasing the risk of credential exposure and security breaches.
