Credential Manager on Windows is a hidden program that stores account information, including passwords, when you use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer. The tool also stores confidential information that you cannot view, such as authentication tokens (encrypted strings) generated by applications and network services. This article will show you how to use Credential Manager to decrypt and view saved passwords on Windows computers.
- Web Credentials: This is the section that contains passwords that were saved while you were using Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer. If the password is saved in another browser (eg Google Chrome, Firefox), you’ll need to use that browser’s password manager to find the password.
- Windows Credentials: This is only useful when the computer is connected to a public network. The password stored here is only used for network related Windows services. Most users cannot see the password in this section.
- If you’re viewing the Windows Credentials section and have expanded the “Generic Credentials” arrow, you won’t see any passwords displayed. This is perfectly normal as these are authentication encrypted strings, not passwords in plain text.
Advice
- To view your saved passwords in Google Chrome, simply click the menu in the upper-right corner of your browser, select Settings , and click Passwords . Click the eyeball icon next to the password you want to see.
- If you want to know the password of the wireless network connection created in the past, refer to how to find the WiFi password.
- A password manager like LastPass or 1Password is very helpful in keeping your passwords safe.
- You can also write the password in a notebook and keep it in a safe place to avoid forgetting the information.
