PowerShell text to secure string without using read-host

$
0
0

I've made several form objects with powershell and I want to have one of its textboxes containt the password data so I can then place it to the registry key. The thing is I would like to keep it there as secure text.

$Pass = (Read-Host 'specify password' -asSecureString | ConvertFrom-SecureString)
$RegPath = 'HKCU:\Software\MyApp'
New-Item -Path $RegPath -Name "Password" -Value "Default Value" -Force
New-ItemProperty $RegPath -Name "Password"-PropertyType "String" -Value $CreatePass -Force
$PassPath = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $Registry -Name Password).Password
$LocAdmCred = domain\user
$CredentialsSet = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($LocAdmCred,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $PassPath))
What I want to set my $Pass variable to textbox.text value as secure string.
