## XAML Example

```xml
<ui:GetUsernamePasswordX AppOrSite="MyApp"
                         CredentialsSource="CredentialsManager">
  <ui:GetUsernamePasswordX.Credential>
    <OutArgument x:TypeArguments="ui:PasswordCredentials">[myCredential]</OutArgument>
  </ui:GetUsernamePasswordX.Credential>
</ui:GetUsernamePasswordX>
```

## Notes

- This activity is only supported on Windows.
- The `Credential` output is a `PasswordCredentials` object whose `Password` property is a `SecureString`, keeping the secret out of plain memory.
- When `CredentialsSource` is `Orchestrator`, provide `OrchestratorCredentialName` to identify the asset.
- Hidden properties (`CredentialName`, `OrchestratorCredentialName`, `OrchestratorFolderPath`) are not visible in the Designer panel by default.
