# PowerShell SecretManagement module

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The PowerShell team has decided that `Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement` is feature complete, so [1.1.2](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement/1.1.2) will be the last feature release.
>
> The nature of secrets has fundamentally changed since this project was designed.
> Passwordless authentication methods such as passkeys, single sign-on and federated credential systems such as Microsoft Entra ID, biometrics, and hardware security keys are the future — and they aren't something this project can meaningfully support in its current form.
>
> While we will no longer be adding features, we remain committed to addressing security issues in the module.
>
> This repository will be archived in the coming weeks. Thank you for all of your contributions. 🙏
