Connect-PnPOnline credential: can it use SharePointOnlineCredentials object

$UserName="<username>"

$pwd ="<password>"

$Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($UserName,(ConvertTo-SecureString $pwd -AsPlainText -Force))

 

can we use the above credentials inside the bracket below

 Connect-PnPOnline –Url $SiteUrl –Credentials (Get-Credential)

  • You can either do this:

     

    $cred = Get-Credential -UserName $username -Message "Please enter password for $username"

    or this:

     

    $encpassword = convertto-securestring -String $password -AsPlainText -Force
    $cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $encpassword

    and then connect with:

     

    Connect-PnPOnline -Url $destinationTenantUrl -Credentials $cred
