@AshKSWhen you use the Pega Robotics credentials components, they store credentials using Microsoft DPAPI. This encrypts the credentials for a given user preventing them from being re-used by another user. They can be shared across machines by the same user if you enable roaming profiles (as they utilize items in the user profile to decrypt the credentials). You cannot simply copy this file only to make use of them by the same user on another machine.
Pega does support various credential providers such as CyberArk and BeyondTrust Password Safe out-of-the-box. In addition, Pega provides sample code you can customize to integrate with other password vault software.
When you use a credential provider like these, it will not require any changes to your automations. Once you configure Runtime to get credentials from a vault, any of the credential components you might be using in the automation will internally point to the vault instead of local credentials.
