Manage your saved passwords:
Windows regularly offers to save passwords on your behalf. When you connect to a server on your network with a username and password other than the one you logged in with, for example, you’re prompted to save the credentials for reuse. Likewise, Internet Explorer and Edge allow you to save passwords so you can enter them automatically when you return to that page.
Those passwords are saved in a secure location that only you can open, using a well-hidden tool called Credential Manager.
You’ll find this option in Control Panel, under the User Accounts heading. In Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, it’s easier to just type credential in the search box and click Credential Manager at the top of the search results.
Separate icons at the top of the Credential Manager list let you view and manage saved Web credentials and Windows credentials. The Web Passwords list can’t be sorted and there’s no search option, so you’ll have to scroll through the list to find a specific entry. Click the down arrow to the right of any entry to see the saved username and password and click Remove if you don’t want that password stored. (The only way to change a saved password is to remove it and then save it by entering the new password in your web browser.)
The Windows Credentials screen offers Edit and Remove buttons for every entry, along with a handy option to back up and restore saved credentials. That’s a small timesaver when you’re setting up a new PC.
