    Hi @Pratisti Satardekar
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question here.

    It seems like you're trying to find a way to enter a password directly into a Web Activity in Azure Data Factory without using Azure Key Vault. While it's technically possible to do this, it's not recommended due to security concerns. The best practice is to store your credentials in Azure Key Vault and reference them in your pipeline for better security and management.

    If you need to use a password directly in the Web Activity, you could potentially pass it in the header or body of your request, depending on the requirements of the endpoint you're calling. It's important to ensure that your pipeline is secure, and that any sensitive information is handled appropriately.

    In the web activity settings, you will find a section for "Authentication."

    Select "Basic" authentication and provide the username and password.

    In the "Password" field, instead of selecting a password from Azure Key Vault, directly enter the password. Ensure the field is not set to use a Key Vault reference.
