When we access the Windows shared folder or NAS network share disk, Windows prompts for the user name and password required to access the share, and if we tick "Remember my Credentials", Windows will save the credentials to the computer. To facilitate the next access to the share.
But if the password for the remote share is modified, or if we don't want to access the share again, how do you remove the user credentials that Windows saved? Windows 10, for example, removes the network shared user authentication credentials that Windows retains.
1, when accessing the network share, we usually open Windows Explorer, and then enter "\\IP address \ Shared directory ", hit Enter to access.
2. If Windows does not save the user credentials to access the network share, you are prompted for a shared user name and password. To avoid repeatedly entering a user name and password every time you access a share, we typically check " Remember my credentials " after entering the user name and password to have Windows save the user's credentials. This will not have to be re-entered the next time you access the network share.
3, but sometimes this will worry: for example, remote network sharing modified user login information (usually login password), Windows access to the share, but also use the previous saved user credentials access, resulting in access failure, or when we do not need to access the share, User credentials that remain in the system may reveal the user's personal information.
For these cases, you can " modify " or " delete " The user credentials saved by Windows. Using thewin+xkey combination (shortcut menu), open Control Panel → user account → Credential Manager →windows credentials .
