Here is all my script. In this moment all works very well , just I want to add 2 users for auth. If 1 fail try other one.
Any ideea ? Thank you

I couldn't test this myself, but I think I would go about it like below:
$User = "SameUser"
$Password = "Pass1"
$sPassword = "Pass2"
$Command = "C:\Info.exe"
$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force
$ssecpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $sPassword -AsPlainText -Force
Get-SSHTrustedHost | Remove-SSHTrustedHost
try {
# try the first credentials
$Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($User, $secpasswd)
$SessionID = New-SSHSession -ComputerName $entry.IP -Credential $Credentials -AcceptKey:$true -Verbose -ErrorAction Stop
}
catch {
# first one failed, try second credentials
$Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($User, $ssecpasswd)
$SessionID = New-SSHSession -ComputerName $entry.IP -Credential $sCredentials -AcceptKey:$true -Verbose
}
try {
Invoke-SSHCommand -SessionId $SessionID.SessionId -Command $Command -ErrorAction Stop
}
catch {
throw
}
# create a hashtable with the first password
$options = #{
Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp
HostName = $entry.IP
UserName = $User
Password = $Password
GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnySshHostKey = $true
}
try {
# Set up session options using first password
$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property $options
$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session
# Try Connect
$session.Open($sessionOptions)
}
catch {
# Set up session options using second password
$options['Password'] = $sPassword
try {
$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property $options
$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session
# Try Connect
$session.Open($sessionOptions)
}
catch {
Write-Error "Could not open WinSCP session: $($_.Exception.Message)"
throw
}
}
try {
# Check if exists files.
# Make sure variables $remotePath and $localPath are defined on top of the script
foreach ($remoteFile in $remotePath) {
if ($session.FileExists($remoteFile)) {
$session.GetFiles($remotePath, $localPath).Check()
}
else {
Write-Warning "File '$remoteFile' not found"
}
}
}
catch {
Write-Error "Could not open WinSCP session: $($_.Exception.Message)"
}
finally {
if ($session) { $session.Dispose() }
}
