### Example 1: Modifying Shared Key for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage Account Credentials

This example shows how to modify a shared key of the storage account credentials for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.

```
$securepassword = Read-Host "Enter your password" -AsSecureString
Enter your password: **********
$account = Get-VBOAzureBlobAccount -Name "Microsoft Azure Blob"
Set-VBOAzureBlobAccount -Account $account -SharedKey $securepassword
```

Perform the following steps:
