Save User Credentials in Secured File

If you want to save credentials in a file and later want to use it in a script here is the trick. You can use PowerShell's built-in XML serialization (Clixml):

 #1. Get The Credentials  
 $cred = Get-Credentails  
 #2. Save the Credentails as a file  
 $cred | Export-CliXml "MyFileName.xml"  
 #3. Read the Credentials back from file  
 $myCred = Import-CliXml "<Path>/MyFileName.xml"
