Unmask a Masked Field

[IT9]

Hello All,

I have a masked field under a RITM form which obtains testing password from users. Do you have any idea that I can unmask the value and send the password through an email notification?

Thanks very much for your help!

If it is a variable with type of MASK, you can simply do it using 

var pass = current.variables.nameOfVariable

If it is Password 1 type field, then it is one way encryption which can not be decrypted.

If it is Password 2, it can be decrypted using servicenow API

var Encrypter = new GlideEncrypter();  

var encrypted = current.variables.nameOfVariable;

var decrypted = Encrypter.decrypt(encrypted);

Thanks Deepak.

I've tried but seems no luck. My masked variable is a "service catalog variable", I don't think there is a password 1/2 option.

Hi,

I have created a variable of type MASKED, named it as "v_masked"

I have set the value of it as "HelloWorld".

Executed below background script and it has given the value.

Meaning, masked field value can be accessed from Server side code.

Could you please share the script your are trying?

var gr = new GlideRecord("sc_req_item");
gr.addQuery("sys_id", 'a1d3da60130d53488c72d7028144b07d');
gr.query();

if (gr.next()){
gs.print(gr.variables.v_masked);
}
