Creating PSCredential Object

PowerShell Help
1

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there is an faster way to create an pscredential object like this:

$UserName = "Foo"
 $pass = ConvertTo-SecureString "bar" -AsPlainText -Force
 $mycreds =  New-Object -TypeName PSCredential -ArgumentList $UserName, $pass

Usually I try to use the type accelerator but but i don’t get it here ^^

$UserName = "Foo"
$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString "bar" -AsPlainText -Force

 $mycreds = [pscredential] @{
    UserName = $UserName
    Password = $pass
 }
