Windows 10: Credential Manger does not show any of my passwords, want to fix

Hi, I have searched the site and other places to discover how to fix Credential Manger so it shows password and how to remove the passwords that are tied to websites. I am using IE 11 for web browser. On this site I did some searching but didn't find much help. I did look to see if the Device Guard Security Service was running in System Summary, msinfo32. It is not. I was going to enable it but the Tutorial I found was related to windows 10 enterprise, so I did not try it. I am an old DOS computer person so I have been around for a while.
Thanks for any help.

:)

 

Password issue

After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

 

Win 10 password

Hi,

Thank you for being part of Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to Save the password in Credential Manager and check. Refer to the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X.
• Click on Control Panel.
• Click on Credential Manager" and select "Windows Credentials".
• Go down to "Generic Credentials" and select "MicrosoftAccount:user=<user_name>" (where <user_name> should be your user name).
• Click "Edit" and Change the password and press "Save".
• Check if issue persists.

Hope this will fix the issue, if not let us know with the updated status and we will be happy to assist you further.

 

When, oh when, will Microsoft correct the credentials manager error?

Hi Russell,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

As a workaround I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it
helps.

• 
  Open the Edge browse
  
• 
  Click on (…) More actions in the upper right corner of the browse
  
• 
  Click on "Settings
  
• 
  scroll to the bottom to "Advanced Settings”
  
• 
  click on "View advanced settings"
  
• 
  scroll down to "Privacy and services"
  
• 
  click on "Manage my saved passwords"
  

This shows the websites you have saved passwords for. They are listed in random order if you click on an entry it will display:

• 
  The URL
  
• 
  The Username
  

Select one of the entries and change one of the passwords, click on Save to Credential Manager and see all of your saved "Web Credentials”.

Also clear the Edge and Internet Explorer data caches (but not the password cache) and

Re-boot your PC before performing this fix.

Hope it helps.
