When you are working with passwords in PowerShell it is best to obfuscate your password to protect against those folks with wandering eyes. Based on how you do this it can pose a security risk in most environments, because you either pass in (or store) your password in plain text. In order to even build a SecureString means you have to provide a password. You cannot just take a string and declare it as a SecureString. The username is pretty obvious, but that password is not just a string value. The PSCredential object requires two arguments: Each method generally lines up to two different scenarios: interactive or automated. You have a few different ways to go about it based on your needs. Commands that utilize a “-Credential” parameter will generally require this type to be passed in. I will go over a few options that are commonly used, but first lets discuss what makes up a PSCredential. This object in PowerShell can be made a few different ways based on your needs.

While some only need the password, some need the full object to authenticate a user. The majority of commands for PowerShell that support remote connections to servers (WMI, CIM, Invoke-Command, etc.), offer the ability to pass in a credential. You can then utilize that information to build what is known as a PSCredential.
Do you have processes or scripts that require you to provide a password? Against the desires of your security officer, do you have to save those passwords in plain text, in your scripts? PowerShell offers a way that you can store a password or prompt the user for the information.
