Saved Windows Credentials

To view all saved passwords in Windows, you can use the Credential Manager or a more advanced approach like using Command Prompt or PowerShell.

1. Using Credential Manager (GUI)

Windows saves passwords for websites, apps, and network services in the Credential Manager. Here’s how to access it:

  1. Press Windows + S and type “Credential Manager.”
  2. Open Credential Manager.
  3. You will see two categories:
    • Web Credentials: Stores passwords for websites.
    • Windows Credentials: Stores passwords for applications and networks.
  4. Click on either Web Credentials or Windows Credentials to view details.
  5. For each entry, click the drop-down arrow, and then click Show (you may need to provide your Windows account password to view the password).

2. Using Command Prompt / PowerShell (For Advanced Users)

You can use the cmdkey utility to list credentials. It won’t show passwords but will list the saved credentials:

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
  2. Type the following command to list credentials:
    cmdkey /list

This command will display a list of stored credentials in Windows, including their target name and type, but it won’t show the actual passwords.
