I’m not sure whether this is a bug or I’m doing something wrong, but each time I share a credential with an user, the credential password is deleted and I have to re-enter it
Example: I create a Basic Auth credential with testuser / testpassword and save the redential
The password is always deleted/replace by a random key and I have to re-enter password each time I share a credential with someone (note it’s the case even if I don’t try to look/edit the pasword)
Looking at that I take it you are seeing a value of n8n_blank_xxxx or similar? This is the value we show to the UI when an expression that contains a password has been toggled, To resolve this don’t use the expression option for the password field and you will be ok.
I’m logged as admin. I create the credential, save it, use it in one workflow → Basic auth works well
I reopen the credential, go straight to “sharing” tab, add the user to share with, click on “save” and exit
I re-execute my same workflow, (still being logged as admin) and got the error:
I reopen the credential, fill again my password (as text), save and all works well. Each time I add someone to a credential I have to re-enter the credential password
Let me know if the steps are clear enough to reproduce the bug on your side.
If the number of accounts is large and it often has to be shared perhaps my solution is also interesting. I have created a list of application accounts and passwords and created an api for it. Every time I use an account, I just need to use request and automatically fill in the credential and change the password anytime I like.
I have just followed those steps but I don’t get the same issue, I sent the credentials to webhook.site so I could check what value was there and on each occasion the correct information was being sent and it didn’t change when I shared the credentials with other users.
As a test could you create a test credential an set something like myuser and mypass then fire it off to something like webhook.site then share the credenital and make the same request and send over the headers so I can take a look? Just make sure you use dummy values as it will be public. It should look something like this…
That is very odd that doesn’t even look like a value we would change something to. Does it always set to that value?
Can you try it in private browsing mode as well? My initial thought look at that is maybe a browser extension is autofilling the field without you knowing about it.
