Hello,   
  
 At the moment of this writing i’m branching a VSS database with finalbuilder. In the commandline box that is open i see somthing that is not very good. In the command that is shown there the password is visible. This is the line that i see (some characters are replaced with ?)   
  
 Starting Directory: C:\Elpado\Releases   
 Parameters: Share $/Elpado/Current -I-Y “-GLC:\Elpado\Releases” -Yelp   
 ado\_opl,?ub?bat? -R -C- “-P2.29.0.0” -E -G-   
  
 I can remember that in some actions “-Yelpado\_opl,?ub?bat?” was subsituted with “-Y\<_LOGIN DETAILS_\>” which ofcourse is much better.   
  
 I saw that the label action also shows the password.   
  
 Regards,   
  
 Richard Floor

Hi Richard   
  
 Which version/build of FinalBuilder are you using? I’ve been looking through our source code, and it looks like this issue was addressed in FB6.0.0.725 - back in June last year.

Hi Vincent,   
  
 I just installed version 6.3.0.1506 i still i get the next text in the command prompt:   
  
 [VSS Get Latest Version[$/Elpado/Current/]]   
  
 Starting Directory: C:\Elpado\Current   
 Parameters: get $/Elpado/Current -I-Y “-GLC:\Elpado\Current” -Yelpado   
 \_opl,g.be.at. -R -GTC -GF- -GWR -W   
  
 So i guess that this is still not resolved.   
  
 Regards,

Hi Richard,   
  
 Not sure how we missed this one but it’s now been fixed and we should have a new test build available soon.

Hi Richard,   
  
 Here’s the new build of FinalBuilder which should correctly hide the user credentials:

Hello,
