Answer 2

Hi 2589,

Windows Credentials Manager is where Web User Names and Passwords are stored

I think what you are looking at is Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant

It is nothing to worry about, I have seen the exact same thing for Windows Live Essentials, Microsoft Office 2013 and now Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant.

It is definitely a Microsoft entry, therefore nothing to worry about . . .
