password

A password for these credentials.

To create a secure cmdlet or provider, define a single parameter of this type instead of using separate parameters for the user name and password.

Do not use the constructor that is provided by this class directly to specify credentials. From scripts, use the Get-Credential cmdlet; from code, call the PromptForCredential method.
