Same here
I am seeing the exact same behaviour here.
I have an INI file containing the settings for the script which reads key/value pairs into PowerShell variables. All parameters work fine this way except

SshHostKeyFingerprint. I can use my SshHostKeyFingerprint value hard-coded in the script and it works fine, so this proves it isn't an issue with the actual value (which is what the above answer implies).

Fingerprint SFTP connection variable assigned PowerShell
Hello,
I have a PowerShell script in which the credentials are set dynamically via variables. For hostname, username, password this works. But not for the fingerprint. I always get the following message:
Here is an excerpt of my script. The values was replaced by "xxxx".
