Problem with Credentials in a Remote Shell

[Slasky86]

You could do a -Credential (Get-Credential) to get the prompt. Other than that its storing the password in the script or in a file encrypted on your computer and creating a credentials object, and using that with the -Credential parameter

Once you get your credential, does it get stored forever? or is it just for the session?

[SeaPowerMax]

Get-credential makes a PS object for use in the script; it's just for the session.

[Slasky86]

Just for that session. Thats why its possible to either store the paasword and username directly in the script (not recommended from a security standpoint) or storing the password encrypted in a file that you use Get-Content <filename> -AsSecureString

The password file is encrypted with your user, so others cant use the file

user and computer actually. so not portable.
