When logging on to a remote computer or accessing a site, we usually need to enter the user name and password. These repetitive operations will affect our work efficiency and user experience. In fact, for local users, we can save these access creden (user, password, certificate, etc.) locally, the system automatically authenticates creden。 during access, which will undoubtedly improve our work efficiency. The Credential Manager is such a system component that can help us complete authentication during local access. In fact, this component is available from Vista, but the creden manager in Windows 7 is undoubtedly more functional and more practical.
Open Control Panel. All control panel items are displayed. You can find creden manager ". On this page, you can see that "creden manager" does not save any creden。 by default. However, you can add "Windows creden。", "certificate-based creden。", and "common creden。" here. Windows creden。 and common creden。 are usually used. In particular, we can add homegroup creden。, Remote Desktop creden。, and shared creden. As for "common creden", we can add creden。 for websites that are frequently accessed, such as Windows Live applications. The method for adding creden is very simple. In this example, click Add windows creden。 to enter the Add creden。 window. Here, we enter the name or URL of the target address (Internet address or network address), as well as the user name and password, and then click "OK. In addition, we can modify and delete creden stored in the creden manager at any time.
Adding access creden to the "creden manager" not only facilitates access to the target site, but also facilitates quick migration. After the creden are added, click the "backup vault" link in the creden manager window to save the creden. When a new system is installed or we want to migrate it to another PC, click the "Restore vault" link in the creden manager window to restore it to the new system, you do not need to add them again. In this way, using the "creden manager" function, we do not need to re-maintain the Remote Desktop list, and do not need to separately record the automatic and vivid password of homegroup, which will largely free the administrator.
