Hi All

i have a server and from that server i connect to exchange online but the server has a policy that if you are idle for 15 minutes, the session gets logged off.
i dont want to put my password always when i connect to exchange online.
I want to try something like the below but i am not sure. i dont want my password to be in plain text.

i have saved my user account password in c:\temp\pwd.txt

$username = "myuser@Company portal .com"
$password = Get-Content 'c:\temp\pwd.txt' | Convertto-securestring
$usercredentials = new-object -typename System.Management.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $password
Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $usercredentials
