There is a Nuget library called CredentialManagement http://nuget.org/packages/CredentialManagement/ from the answer here: Retrieve Credentials from Windows Credentials Store using C#
works perfectly
var cm = new Credential();
cm.Target = "mycredentialname";
if (!cm.Exists())
{
Console.WriteLine("cm is null");
}
cm.Load();
Console.WriteLine("Password: " + cm.Password);
Console.WriteLine("Username: " + cm.Username);

Using the
Windows.Security.Credentials.PasswordVault
class, I can access the passwords stored under "Web Credentials" in the Windows Credential Manager:using System; using Windows.Security.Credentials; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { PasswordVault vault = new PasswordVault(); foreach (var cred in vault.RetrieveAll()) { cred.RetrievePassword(); Console.WriteLine("Resource: {0}", cred.Resource); Console.WriteLine("UserName: {0}", cred.UserName); Console.WriteLine("Password: {0}", cred.Password); } } }
I would like to know if there's a way to retrieve the credentials stored under "Windows Credentials" instead.
