What is the Credentials Manager
The Credentials Manager in Windows 10/11 is also known as a digital locker designed to collect sign-in information for applications, websites, and networks. It will store your login information such as passwords, usernames, and even email addresses. The stored data can be used on just a single local computer or over multiple computers connected over a LAN (Local Area Network). Now, there are four categories here that the credentials are divided into, and they are Windows credentials, certificate-based credentials, generic credentials, and web credentials.
