about_PSProfile_Secrets SHORT DESCRIPTION An overview of the Secrets concept in PSProfile. LONG DESCRIPTION Secrets are stored in `$PSProfile.Vault` and can either be PSCredential objects or SecureStrings. PSCredential Secrets are stored and recalled via the UserName, while SecureStrings are stored and recalled using a provided friendly name, e.g. `MyAPIKey`. Secrets are stored using the Data Protection API, so users on non-Windows platforms should be aware that the secrets stored are not encrypted as they are on Windows due to lack of of the underlying Data Protection API. COMMANDS * `Add-PSProfileSecret` Adds a new Secret to your PSProfile. * `Get-MyCreds` Equivalent to running `Get-PSProfileSecret $env:UserName`. Allows easily pulling your current user's credentials for use with other commands, e.g. `Invoke-Command -Credential (Get-MyCreds)`. * `Get-PSProfileSecret` Gets a Secret from your PSProfile configuration. * `Remove-PSProfileSecret` Removes a Secret from your PSProfile. |
