If this was successful, the credential will be stored in the Windows Credential Manager vault by using the New-VaultEntry command and then returned to the pipeline. Else an exception will be thrown. .INPUTS None. .OUTPUTS System.Management.Automation.PSCredential. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Use-VaultCredential -TargetName 'MyUserCred' -Credential 'MyUsername' Return the PSCredential objects with the target name 'MyUserCred' from the vault or if it does not exist, query the user. .NOTES Author : Claudio Spizzi License : MIT License .LINK https://github.com/claudiospizzi/SecurityFever #> function Use-VaultCredential { [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([System.Management.Automation.PSCredential])] param ( # The vault credential entry name.
