Disclose managed passwords

Random and static passwords managed by Thycotic can be disclosed or viewed in several places in the console. Typically anywhere a user account is listed, you can right-click the user name and disclose the password. Anytime a password is disclosed, the disclosure will be audited and will appear in the Password disclosure reports.

To disclose a password, do the following steps:

1. In the Thycotic Security Management, click the Policies tab.
2. In the file library in the left pane, navigate to Thycotic Solutions > Local Security > Resources.

3. Right-click the managed user name being targeted by the password randomization policy.
   

   Tip

   You can disclose passwords for managed accounts in the Resources tab as well as the Policies tab.

4. Click Show Managed Password. 
   
5. In the top left corner of the Password Disclosure dialogue box, click the Copy to Clipboard icon. (You must copy the password to the clipboard because it is displayed for only a few seconds.)
   
   

Examples of where to disclose managed passwords are:

• Disclose password for randomized user account
• Disclose static password for a provisioned user account
• Disclose randomized passwords via the Help Desk console
