Use Credential Manager

  • Article

You can use the Credential Manager to allow users the option to save authentication information on a device. When a Web site or another computer requests authentication through NTLM or Kerberos, an Update Default Credentials or Save Password check box appears in the Net UI dialog box. If the user selects the check box, the Credential Manager keeps track of the user's name, password, and related information for the authentication service in use.

The next time that service is used, the Credential Manager automatically supplies the stored credential. If it is not accepted, the user is prompted for the correct access information. If access is granted, the Credential Manager overwrites the previous credential with the new one.
