Protecting passwords with PowerShell scripts
A contributor to the Cloud and DevOps Blog shared how to use passwords in a PowerShell script without resorting to cleartext. Users can start by creating a password file, keeping the password in an encrypted format. A basic script prompts anyone trying to access the file for a username and password. Once the password is encrypted, it can be integrated into code. A key consideration is to make sure the script and password file are housed in the same directory.
