PowerShell • Trouble with embedding secured password

Im trying to use the password credentials tool, within Sapien Powershell Studio. My goal is to replace the clear text password with encrypted password in my scripts, therefore im using the $SAPIENHost.GetPassword(index) to obtain a SecureString object containing password.

But its doesn’t work, firstly when im typing $SAPIENHost powershell studio doesn’t recognize it.
Secondly I receive errors that the user name and the password aren’t recognizable.

This is how im embedding the $SAPIENHost.GetPassword(index) :

set-PowerCLIConfiguration -Scope User -ParticipateInCEIP $true -Confirm:$false
set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -Confirm:$false
$VcPassword = $SAPIENHost.GetPassword(0)
$SecurdVcPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $VcPassword -AsPlainText -Force
$VcCred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ('system_task@www.jerudom1.co.il', $SecurdVcPassword)
Connect-VIServer -Server $script:seclectvc -Credential $VcCred

Thank you in advance
