PowerShell Module to Read and Write Credentials from the Windows Credential Manager
I am no longer working on this project or PowerShell much at all. If anyone else wants to take a fork and continue supporting this project. I would be happy to link to that project from here to guide people in the right direction.
###PowerShell Gallery Installation The module is available on the PowerShell Gallery: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/CredentialManager/1.0.0.
- PS> Save-Module -Name CredentialManager -Path
- PS> Install-Module -Name CredentialManager
###Manual Installation
- Dowload the latest verion of the module code from https://github.com/davotronic5000/PowerShell_Credential_Manager/releases
- Unzip CredentialManager.zip and copy the contents to you preferred module path. Usually C:\Users$UserName\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules.
- In your PowerShell session run the command Import-Module CredentialManager
Import the module in to your PowerShell session and full help is available in the module with Get-Help
- Fork it!
- Create your feature branch:
git checkout -b my-new-feature - Commit your changes:
git commit -am 'Add some feature' - Push to the branch:
git push origin my-new-feature - Submit a pull request :D
- Implemented pipeline support for Get-StoredCredential.
- Implemented pipeline support for New-StoredCredential.
- Implemented pipeline support for Remove-StoredCredential.
- Improved error handling to respect the Error Action Preference in PowerShell.
- Changed AsPSCredential to a Switch parameter and renamed to AsCredentialObject on Get-StoredCredential to make it easier to use.
- Added Credentials parameter to New-StoredCredential which accepts a PSCredential object instead of User name and Password.
- Added SecuserPassword parameter to New-StoredCredential which accepts a SecureString as the password.
- Credential object now returns LastWritten as a DateTime instead of a ComType.FILETIME
- Changing license to MIT from GPL
- General refactoring and bug fixes.
Fixed a bug where the username specified in the -UserName parameter was not being used to create the credential in the store. The username for the logged on user was being used instead. Issue logged davotronic5000#8
Implementing basic functionality
- Get-StoredCredential - Gets one or more credentials from the Windows Credential Manager.
- New-Stored Credential - Adds a new credential to the Windows Credential Manager.
- Remove-StoredCredential - Deletes a credential from the Windows Credential Manager.
- Get-StrongPassword - Randomly generates a new password.
