# Add-CompromisedPassword

The `Add-CompromisedPassword` cmdlet adds a string into the compromised password store. When the password filter is configured to check against compromised passwords, any password that is an exact match to this string will rejected.

## Syntax

```
Add-CompromisedPassword -Value <string>

Add-CompromisedPassword -SecureString <SecureString>
```

### Parameters

**`Value`**

Required. The password to add to the compromised password store

**`SecureString`**

Required. The password to add to the compromised password store as a secure string

### Examples

The following example adds a single compromised password to the store

```powershell
Add-CompromisedPassword -Value "password"
```

The following example prompts for a password to add to the compromised password store

```powershell
Add-CompromisedPassword -SecureString (Read-Host -Prompt "Enter the compromised password to add to the store" -AsSecureString)
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lithnet.io/password-protection/v1.0/advanced-help/powershell-reference/add-compromisedpassword.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
