Summary of the new feature or changed behavior

To use the AsPlainText parameter, the Force parameter must also be included in the command.

That's not correct, on my local desktop. Example below.

However it is true when running my build on Azure Pipelines - my build just broke.

Please add some detail around when it is needed, and when it isn't? Thankyou.

PS C:\Code> $bar = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText 'foo'

PS C:\Code> $bar.GetType()
