How to Add Secure Password PowerShell Invoke-Command

When it comes to executing commands remotely in PowerShell using Invoke-Command, ensuring secure password handling is crucial to prevent unauthorized access to your systems. Here's how you can add a secure password while using Invoke-Command:

1. Firstly, store the password securely in a variable:

$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'YourPassword' -AsPlainText -Force

2. Next, create a PSCredential object using the secure password:

$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential('Username', $securePassword)

3. Finally, utilize the -Credential parameter in your Invoke-Command to pass the PSCredential object:

Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'RemoteComputer' -ScriptBlock { YourCommand } -Credential $credential

By following these steps, you can ensure that your password is securely handled when using Invoke-Command in PowerShell, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
