Get-AzKeyVaultSecret can't read secret value in Powershell

Question

I'm not able to read the value of one of my secrets in Key Vault. I'm logged in with my Azure account and I have full permission to the selected Key Vault.

I'm able to retrieve a list of available secrets using the following command:

$keyVaultValue = (Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'name-of-key-vault')

And then see the content when I write:

Write-Output $keyVaultValue

But when I ask for a specific key it just returns null:

$keyVaultValue = (Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'name-of-key-vault' -Name 'my-secret-name').SecretValueText

I've checked the name and subscription ID and everything is correct. I can easily read the value from the portal, but no from powershell on my Windows PC.

Any suggestions?

SecretValueText is deprecated, You can use the following syntax the retrieve the value as plain text:

$keyVaultValue = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'name-of-key-vault' -Name 'my-secret-name'
$keyVaultValue.SecretValue | ConvertFrom-SecureString -AsPlainText
