History

v2.0

• Implemented pipeline support for Get-StoredCredential.
• Implemented pipeline support for New-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.

v1.1 Bug Fix

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 #8

• Get-StoredCredential - Gets one or more credentials from the Windows Credential Manager.
• New-Stored Credential - Adds a new credential to the Windows Credential Manager.
