    Hello Cliffr,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

    Credential Manager allows you to store credentials, such as user names and passwords that you use to log on to websites or other computers on a network. By storing your credentials, Windows can automatically log you on to websites or other computers. Credentials are saved in special folders on your computer called vaults. Windows and programs (such as web browsers) can securely give the credentials in the vaults to other computers and websites. For information about saving credentials in a vault,

    To add a password to your Windows vault:

    1. Click Start, type Credential Manager and select the same from the list.
    2. Click Windows credential on the right.
    3. Click Add a Windows credential.
    4. In the Internet or network address box, type the name of the computer on the network that you want to access. This can be the NetBIOS name (example: server1) or DNS name (example: server1.fabrikam.com).
    5. In the User name and Password boxes, type the user name and password that you use for that computer or website, and then click OK.
