    What is my logon name when a workstation logs onto my Win10 computer?

    You will only find user names, not the whole credentials. I really don´t fully understand your question. Are you logging in via RDP? The list of user names can be obtain typing net users in CMD.

    Why would I see user name in my credentials manager that I don't recognize?

    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....
