Windows credential manager
We can store credentials in Windows Credential Manager instead of hard-coding them into our code. If we want to use a service or a PowerShell script that requires some form of credentials/secrets we can use this feature. Navigate to Windows Credential Manager by:
- Start / Type
cred
/ Credential Manager - Windows Credentials / Add a generic credential
For example git
stores the HTTP authentication credentials for each domain in here. If the repository's password has been changed, you can reset it here.
