How to Manage Windows Credentials with Get-CredentialManager

The Get-CredentialManager command is not a native Windows command or PowerShell cmdlet. Instead, it is commonly associated with third-party modules or scripts that interact with the Windows Credential Manager. Windows Credential Manager is a secure store for login credentials, such as usernames and passwords, that Windows applications and services can use.

In the Windows environment, PowerShell provides a way to interact with the Credential Manager through the CredentialManager module. This module allows you to retrieve, add, and remove credentials stored in the Windows Credential Manager. Below, I will provide examples of how to use the CredentialManager module in PowerShell to manage credentials.

Examples:

  1. Installing the CredentialManager Module:

    Before using the CredentialManager cmdlets, you need to install the module from the PowerShell Gallery. Open PowerShell with administrative privileges and run the following command:

    Install-Module -Name CredentialManager -Force

    This command installs the CredentialManager module, which provides the necessary cmdlets to interact with the Windows Credential Manager.

  2. Retrieving Credentials:

    To retrieve credentials stored in the Credential Manager, use the Get-StoredCredential cmdlet. For example, to retrieve credentials for a specific target:

    $credential = Get-StoredCredential -Target "MyApplication"

    This command retrieves the stored credentials for "MyApplication" and stores them in the $credential variable.

  3. Adding Credentials:

    To add new credentials to the Credential Manager, use the New-StoredCredential cmdlet. For example:

    New-StoredCredential -Target "MyApplication" -UserName "myuser" -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString "mypassword" -AsPlainText -Force) -Persist LocalMachine

    This command adds a new credential entry for "MyApplication" with the specified username and password.

  4. Removing Credentials:

    To remove credentials from the Credential Manager, use the Remove-StoredCredential cmdlet. For example:

    Remove-StoredCredential -Target "MyApplication"

    This command removes the credential entry for "MyApplication" from the Credential Manager.

  5. Listing All Stored Credentials:

    To list all stored credentials, use the Get-StoredCredential cmdlet without specifying a target:

    Get-StoredCredential

    This command lists all credentials stored in the Credential Manager.

Note: Always ensure that you handle credentials securely and avoid hardcoding sensitive information in scripts.
