Description
Attempting to automate a SCP from a list of 100 servers and I have to put in the password for every one.
Need to be able to use:
$credentials = Get-Credential
Get-SCPItem -Credential $credentials
looking at NewSessionBase.cs line 198, only Credential.UserName is used
Can the code be updated to detect the presence of a password in the PSCredential object and use that password for authentication?

Research direction
Start at NewSessionBase.cs line 198 and trace how Get-SCPItem passes the PSCredential into session authentication. Verify the behavior with a PSCredential created by Get-Credential and multiple SCP targets; done means Get-SCPItem -Credential $credentials can authenticate without prompting for each server.
