Function Write-Credential {

<#
   .SYNOPSIS
    Saves credentials to disk system as secure string for re-use
 
   .DESCRIPTION
    Saves credentials to disk system as secure string for re-use.
    User will be prompted to enter user name and password which will be saved. Username will be re-used exactly as specified, i.e. depending on target use you may want to specify domain\user or user@domain.com
    Only currently logged in user will be able to decrypt and use saved credentials. Other users even if they will have access to saved files, will not be able to decrypt it.
 
   .Example
    Write-Credential Dev
    User is prompted for credentials (user name and password) which are saved to default location.
 
   .EXAMPLE
    Write-Credential BAcc -Path P:\cred
    User is prompted for credentials for B account, which are afterwards saved to P: disk.
 
   .PARAMETER Environment
    Name of environment for which credentials are saved. It will be used in Get commands, and also as part of file names.
    If you want to save credentials for multiple users in same environment, use different Environment names, like EnvAdmin and EnvUser.
    You may specify multiple environments.
 
   .PARAMETER Path
    Optional parameter which defines where credentials will be saved. If not specified, %APPDATA%\CredentialsManager is used.
    If specified, default value will be updated and re-used on next calls within the same PowerShell session.
 
   .PARAMETER PassThru
    Switch parameter which defines if credentials created by this cmdlet will be passed through the pipeline. Default is false.
 
   .OUTPUTS
    Cmdlet is not returning any value by default.
    If switch PassThru is specified, it returns Credentials object as Get-Credential, System.Management.Automation.PSCredential.
