When you visit a website that requires you to sign in to your account—like an email, banking, or shopping site—Internet Explorer will ask if you want your user name and password remembered by storing this info for that website. The next time you visit the site and start entering your user name, Internet Explorer will finish filling in your account info.
Since this info is securely stored in Credential Manager as “Web Credentials” on whatever PC you’re using at the time, you should be careful about using AutoComplete to store passwords for websites on public or shared computers. When you’re using a public or shared PC, make sure AutoComplete and storing passwords for websites is turned off in IE11.

If you tried this on Windows 7 and came to the fact that your Windows doesn’t have Web Credential Manager, that is because it does not exist on Window 7! Windows 7 does not have web credential manager, it has a program called Windows Vault. Here are some details on Vault. Also, below are some additional uses which worked for a few users on some forums.
How To Use Windows 7 Credential Manager To Organize and Remember Passwords
1. Click the Start Menu Orb and Type in Windows vault, then Press Enter.
2. Once Windows Credential Manager loads up, you’ll need to select which type of password you want to save.
- Windows Credentials: These are used to log into Windows-based systems on the network
- Certificate-Based Credentials: Complicated and used for advanced system configurations
- General Credentials: This type covers nearly all passwords for programs, websites, and services compatible with Windows Vault
In this example, we’ll use Windows Credentials to save the login information for another Windows computer on the local network. So Click Add a Windowscredential.
3. In the top line Type in either the network address or the computer name (e.g. PC-DellXPS) depending on how you like to organize your information. For me, I’m going to just type the local IP address. In the next line Type in the User name, and then under that Type in the Password for that windows machine. The username should be the user account name that is normally used to log into Windows 7.
That’s all there is to it! Now Windows Vault will store the credentials and help you automatically log into the network location. If you end up changing your credentials, you’ll need to go back into Windows Vault and change them there too. Just Click Edit under the appropriate stored credential, and it will let you change all of its settings.
