ConvertTo-SecureString-每个人都使用加密密码

Question

I stored a pw encrypted in a txt file and load it into a powershell session with:

gc .\\localadmincred.txt | convertto-securestring

This doesn't work because i read that only the User that encrypted that key, can convert it to a secure string, everyone als can't decrypt the string that is in my txt.

How can I store an encrypted string in a file so that everyone can use it with convertto-securestring ?

Answer 1

You can encrypt the string with a key. If another user has the key, he/she will be able to decrypt the string.
