gistfile1.txt

#Prompts for the username/password, enter the username in the form of DomainName\UserName
$Credential = get-credential -Message "Please enter the VPM credentials"

#Converts the password to clear text to pass it through correctly as passing through a secure string does not work.
$Password = $credential.GetNetworkCredential().password

#Converts the $Credential to just the DomainName/UsernName.
$Account = $credential.UserName

echo $Password
echo $Password.GetType()
