PowerShell - Get-Credential decode password?

2019-04-03 08:52发布

问题:

I want to use the Get-Credential cmdlet in my code.

How is is possible to decode the password easily back from the System.Security.SecureString format?

(I must use the password in clear text format at one part in my code)

$credential = Get-Credential
$credential.Password | ConvertFrom-SecureString
$credential
#How to show password in text format?

My workaround, but I think there is also a normal way

$credCachePS = New-Object System.Net.CredentialCache 
$credCachePS.Add("uridummy", "NTLM", $credential) 
$credCachePS | select Password

回答1:

This is what I use ( though this makes it insecure, but I think you understand that):

$credential.GetNetworkCredential().password

PS > $credential.GetNetworkCredential().username
PS > $credential.GetNetworkCredential().password
