Use an input-box instead of putting the credentials in code

Question

I have made a script that I would distribute to my college's. It's a Powershell script using CSOM to connect to a SharePoint-Online environment. What I would like is to create an input box where my college's can enter their credentials. Because now I have put my userid en password in the code itself. How can I change the CSOM code to create an inputbox? I know that the command: “$credential = get-credential” generates a inputbox too. How can I change the code below that a user can logon through an inputbox.

$SiteUrl = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
$UserName="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
$Password ="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
$Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($UserName,(ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force))
$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteUrl) 
$Context.Credentials = $credentials

Answer 1

Use this code:

$SiteUrl = "https://company.sharepoint.com"
$Credentials = Get-Credential

$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteUrl) 
$Context.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Credentials.UserName,$Credentials.Password)

or this:

$SiteUrl = "https://company.sharepoint.com"
$UserName = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter username"
$SecurePassword = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter password" -AsSecureString

$Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($UserName,$SecurePassword)
$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteUrl) 
$Context.Credentials = $Credentials

if you have enabled 2FA you need to use something like THIS.
