Windows Credential Manager is a password manager included with Windows that will store credentials entered into a variety of VPN clients, servers, and websites (among other services). Windows Credential Manager may try to automatically enter stored credentials when you access those services. You can permanently stop and disable the Credential Manager in Windows 10. Right click on Windows Start Button I Computer Management I Services and Applicati.

Managing multiple accounts and their passwords can be a real chore. Luckily you don't have to do that on your own. You can keep all of your passwords safe in one app and access them quickly with Windows Credential Manager.

What does the Windows Credential Manager do exactly?

It can generate random and secure passwords for you. It can sync the login data between all of your devices. And it can store your passwords and login data in an encrypted vault only you can access. The Windows Credential Manager will store login details for websites, servers, mapped drives, and network locations.

Despite that, the Windows Credential Manager is not particularly popular in Windows 10 /8/7. Many Windows users don't even know anything about it.

The Windows Credential Manager will store details to a private vault so that you can automatically log in to your favorite websites and apps. Your credentials will be stored and managed automatically by your device. The app knows when authentication data is being modified so it will always save your current passwords.

The saved credentials include:

  • Password-protected Web sites in IE.
  • Passwords of MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger accounts.
  • Login passwords of remote computers on LAN.
  • Passwords of mail accounts saved by Microsoft Outlook

How to use Windows Credential Manager Files

  • Use the Win key + S hotkey combination and enter 'Windows Credential Manager' into the search field.
  • Select Manage Windows Credentials to open a new window.
  • It includes Web Credentials and Windows Credentials. The former includes website account login data, but this only applies to websites opened in Edge and Internet Explorer.
  • You can delete website credentials by choosing one from the list and clicking Remove, then press Yes to confirm, but you cannot add any new details.
  • You can also view your own website passwords by pressing the Show option. You will have to enter your user account password first, however.
  • You can press on Windows Credentials to open login details for Windows and its services
  • Another thing you can do there is adjusting login details by selecting an entry to expand it and then hitting Edit. This will open a window where you can type your new login details.
  • To delete an entry there, select it and then click Remove.
  • To add new credentials click on Add a Windows credential.
  • Next, fill out the three fields in the window and click on the OK button.

How to open the Windows Credential Manager with the Command Prompt

Use the Win + X button combination and select Command Prompt from the menu to open it.
Then enter 'rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr' into the Command Prompt and hit Enter to open a window. This window is basically identical to the Windows Credential Manager.

NOTICE: This project is no longer being maintained. :warning:

Git Credential Manager for Windows is no longer being maintained. The cross-platformGit Credential Manager Core (GCM Core) is the official replacement.

GCM Core is included as an optional component of Git for Windows 2.28 and will be made the default credentialhelper as of Git for Windows 2.29. GCM Core can also be manually installed from this page.

NOTICE: Experiencing GitHub push/fetch problems?

GitHub will disable password-based authenticationon APIs Git Credential Manager for Windows uses to create tokens. As a result, GCMfor Windows will no longer be able to create new access tokens for GitHub.

Git Credential Manager Core (GCM Core) supports OAuth-basedauthentication with GitHub and is the replacement for GCM for Windows.

Please update to Git for Windows 2.28 and select “Git Credential Manager Core” fromthe installer when asked to “select a credential helper”, or manually install GCM Corefrom here.

As of 22 Feb 2018, GitHub has disabled support for weak encryption which means many users will suddenly find themselves unable to authenticate using a Git for Windows which (impacts versions older than v2.16.0). DO NOT PANIC, there’s a fix. Update Git for Windows to the latest (or at least v2.16.0).

The most common error users see looks like:

If, after updating Git for Windows, you are still having problems authenticating with GitHub, please read this Developer Community topic which contains additional remedial actions you can take to resolve the problem.

If you are experiencing issue when using Visual Studio, please read Unable to connect to GitHub with Visual Studio.

The Git Credential Manager for Windows (GCM) provides secure Git credential storage for Windows. It’s the successor to the Windows Credential Store for Git (git-credential-winstore), which is no longer maintained. Compared to Git’s built-in credential storage for Windows (wincred), which provides single-factor authentication support working on any HTTP enabled Git repository, GCM provides multi-factor authentication support for Azure DevOps, Team Foundation Server, GitHub, and Bitbucket.

This project includes:

  • Secure password storage in the Windows Credential Store.
  • Multi-factor authentication support for Azure DevOps.
  • Two-factor authentication support for GitHub.
  • Two-factor authentication support for Bitbucket.
  • Personal Access Token generation and usage support for Azure DevOps, GitHub, and Bitbucket.
  • Non-interactive mode support for Azure DevOps backed by Azure Directory.
  • NTLM/Kerberos authentication for Team Foundation Server (see notes).
  • Optional settings for build agent optimization.

Community

This is a community project so feel free to contribute ideas, submit bugs, fix bugs, or code new features. For detailed information on how the GCM works go to the wiki.

Download and Install

To use the GCM, you can download the latest installer. To install, double-click GCMW-{version}.exe and follow the instructions presented.

When prompted to select your terminal emulator for Git Bash you should choose the Windows’ default console window, or make sure GCM is configured to use modal dialogs. GCM cannot prompt you for credentials, at the console, in a MinTTY setup.

Manual Installation

Note for users with special installation needs, you can still extract the gcm-{version}.zip file and run install.cmd from an administrator command prompt. This allows specification of the installation options explained below.

Installation in an MSYS2 Environment

To use the GCM along with git installed with pacman in an MSYS2 environment, simply download a release zip and extract the contents directly into C:msys64usrlibgit-core (assuming your MSYS2 environment is installed in C:msys64). Then run:

How to use

You don’t. It magically works when credentials are needed. For example, when pushing to Azure DevOps, it automatically opens a window and initializes an oauth2 flow to get your token.

Build and Install from Sources

To build and install the GCM yourself, clone the sources, open the solution file in Visual Studio, and build the solution. All necessary components will be copied from the build output locations into a .Deploy folder at the root of the solution. From an elevated command prompt in the .Deploy folder issue the following command git-credential-manager install. Additional information about development and debugging are available in our documents area.

Various options are available for uniquely configured systems, like automated build systems. For systems with a non-standard placement of Git use the --path <git> parameter to supply where Git is located and thus where the GCM should be deployed to. For systems looking to avoid checking for the Microsoft .NET Framework and other similar prerequisites use the --force option. For systems looking for silent installation without any prompts, use the --passive option.
