Description

Passwords for connecting to different components are shown when prompted.

Use Case(s)

Password prompts should hide the string that is entered. For example, -AsSecureString as one possible solution.

Potential Configuration

We should enhance this:

1. in the scripts itself (when the password is not provided as parameter).
2. In the module - if we run some function from the module without parameters the user will be asked for input parameters, one of those parameters will be a password prompt.

Basically, in all places that we are asking for password as input parameter, these should be masked.
