    Cannot use PIN code to view passwords using Credential Manager


    When viewing passwords in credential manager I usually type in my PIN number when prompted but now it wont take it and keeps asking for userid and password. I have tried several ids but it doesnt work. I prefer to use my PIN. I have no problems logging in to windows using my PIN

    :)

    Managing Credentials with no password

    The CREDENTIAL MANAGER - which, as I am logged in to my laptop - with NO user name / password (I chose to bypass this at build) - doesn't let me view
    MY OWN list of passwords !!!

    How do I view MY OWN password list ?

    Managing Credentials with no password

    I am referring to the CREDENTIAL MANAGER - which, as I am logged in to my laptop - with NO user name / password (I chose to bypass this at build) - doesn't let me view MY OWN list of passwords !!!

    How do I view MY OWN password list ?

    Also - why was the response above - marked as THE ANSWER ?

    It was NOT the answer and I feel that in assuming that it was the answer is PRESUMPTUOUS !!

    I have removed this assumption....

    Cannot use PIN code to view passwords using Credential Manager

    Managing Credentials with no password

    How do I access my password list - when I am running my PC without any Windows login or password ?

    I have built my laptop using Windows 10 / 64 - without the need/requirement for any login or password

    In order to see a Web Credentials password, you are required to enter a Windows credentials password - which I do not have (because I have built the PC without the requirement for such a login) .....(although I have tried my Hotmail login - which gives me
    access to email but fails to give me access to Web credentials)

    What can I do to view my password list ?

    And Eashwar Kumar - rather weirdly (for an IT pro) asked me the following - yesterday

    1. I am referring to the passwords held in the CREDENTIAL MANAGER (in the control panel)

    2. I am referring to ALL of my passwords

    3. The Credential Manager is independent of browser !
