Manage your passwords For many people, Credential Manager doesn’t work and needs fixing and we have a dedicated guide on how to do it. As a quick reminder, the Credential Manager saves login details for websites, servers, mapped drives, and network locations. It saves these login details to a vault so that you can automatically log in to websites and network connections. As such, the credential files are kind of similar to browser cookies that also store login details. Also, these credentials are stored and managed automatically by your computer. The Windows Credential Manager knows when authentication information changes, saving, for example, the latest password. Data stored in the form of these credential files include:
Passwords from password-protected Web sites in Internet Explorer 7 and 8. Passwords of MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger accounts. On LAN, login passwords of remote computers. On exchange servers, it contains the passwords of mail accounts stored by Microsoft Outlook
