There is no way we can "decrypt" the passwords generated. I guess this will fail the basic purpose of having pwds.

I can suggest you a simple solution though:
Just check whether you are able to go to the next screen after entering password or check if there is no error message after entering pwds. if there is either of two, you can be sure that you have entered the right password.

I have a suggesstion for getting the password entered Password field. Hope the following script may help you.........

-----------------------------------------

Code:

Browser("B").Page("P").WebEdit("uname").Set "tester"
Browser("B").Page("P").WebEdit("pwd").SetSecure "4a5d7145b2fef00c64034e56dc213cbdf0da"
[b]A = Browser("B").Page("P").WebEdit("pwd").GetROProperty("Value")
MsgBox (A)[/b]

-----------------------------------------
Thanks

Hi QTPgrd,

i am sorry to say that the LOC that you specified won't workout. As the value will return empty. so, i will agree with Ankur in this regard.

Hi QTPKing,

The script provided by QTPgrd is working fine for me. I didn't find any discrepancies in the value returned.

Thanks,

Hi friends,

Let us see indetail.
1) If you are entering a password with 4 chars like "P@ss" then the encrpty will be "4a5dcde055cbebeecd93bb8628e0" i.e. 28 charecters
2) when you enter the same 28 charecters using setsecure we can see only 4 chars in Password field.(****)
3) When you get the visible text or value from password edit box then there may be 2 cases
Case:1: We won't get any value (as specified by me in previous post)
Case:2: if at all we got the value the number of char's will be 4 only. Though the number of chars are 4 they not either "P@ss" or "a5dcde055cbebeecd93bb8628e0".

So guys, QTPian and sharingwilddreams please let me how i am wrong and let me know if i am going in wrong way.

Lets clear the confusion.
Answers posted by me and other guy was on the issue abt masked characters,thats the password getting hidden using asterisks or something like that. If this is the case,what answer he has given is right. Encryption and Decryption of passwords r out of the context.

Hi QTPKing

Please try the below script. This script has been recorded with our Forum.
--------------------------

Code:

Browser("SRAIS-AS Login").Page("QTP Forums").Link("Login").Click
Browser("SRAIS-AS Login").Page("QTP Forums").WebEdit("quick_username").Set "QTPgrd"
Browser("SRAIS-AS Login").Page("QTP Forums").WebEdit("quick_password").SetSecure "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
A = Browser("SRAIS-AS Login").Page("QTP Forums").WebEdit("quick_password").GetROProperty("Value")
Msgbox (A)
Browser("SRAIS-AS Login").Page("QTP Forums").WebButton("Login").Click

--------------------------
In the message box you would receive the password entered in the Password text field, say if you have entered password something like "QTP000" this would be displayed in the message box
