What are Microsoft Office credentials

Hi Lmdl771,

Thank you for posting your question in this community. Generally, credentials are the account and password that is stored in your local computer so that you don’t have to enter your account and password to sign into application every time as long as the credentials is not expired.

For example, when you are using Office application with your account, the Office application can update related information based on your account, such as your security information, recently viewed or opened online document etc. If you choose to stay sign in, your account information will be stored as credential in your computer so that you don’t have to enter account and password every time when you use Office applications.

For your information:

Sign in to Office

For Office application credentials, you can find the Office credentials from Control Panel > Credential Manage r > Windows Credentials. Generally, it will look like MicrosoftOfficexx_Data:xxxxxxx.

For your information:
