Raising Windows 7 access speed with Credential Manager

When you log on to a remote computer or visit a site, we typically enter a username and password information. These repetitive operations will affect our productivity and use experience, in fact, for local users, we can completely save these access credentials (users, passwords, certificates, etc.) in the local, access to the system automatically completes the credential certification process, which will undoubtedly improve our efficiency. Credential Manager is such a system component that can help us to complete the authentication work when we visit locally. In fact, this component is from Vista, but there is no doubt that the Credential Manager in Windows 7 is more functional and more practical.

Open Control Panel and display all Control Panel items to find the Credential manager. Enter this page to see that the Credential Manager does not save any credentials by default. However, here we can add three types of credentials, such as Windows credentials, certificate-based credentials, and normal credentials. In contrast, Windows credentials and normal credentials are used more often. In particular, "Windows credentials," We can add homegroup credentials, Remote Desktop credentials, shared credentials, and so on. As for "normal credentials," we can add to the site that we normally visit frequently, such as Windows Live's application credentials. The way to add credentials is simple, to add Windows credentials as an example, click the Add Windows credentials link to enter the Add Credentials window. Here, we enter the name or URL address of the destination address (Internet address or network address) separately, and the username and password, and then "OK". In addition, the credential information saved in the Credential Manager can be modified and deleted at any time.

Adding access credentials to the Credential Manager not only facilitates our access to the target site, but also facilitates our rapid migration. Once the credentials have been added, we can save the credential information by clicking on the "Backup Vault" link in the Credential Manager window. When you have a new system installed, or if we want to migrate it to another PC, click the "Restore Vault" link in the Credential Manager window to restore it to the new system without having to add it over and over again. In this way, with the Credential Manager feature, we do not need to maintain the Remote Desktop list, but also no longer require a separate record homegroup automatic vivid password, will largely liberate the administrator.
