    $credentials = Get-Credential  #popup box$filename = 'L:\secretfile.txt'$credentials | Export-CliXml -Path $filename

    gr.P

    Check the credentials returned to see if they are null.

    The answer is a bit tricky due to the use case for the CmdLet. The following is the best you can do in this case.

    Try{
    if($cred = Get-Credential -Credential $cred -ErrorAction Stop){
        Write-Host good
            Write-Host $cred.Username
    }else{
        Write-Host no creds
    }
}
Catch{
    Write-Host no creds
}
