Use win7 credential manager to speed up access

Usually we need to enter the username and password information before logging in to the remote computer or visiting the site. In fact, we can fully use the save credential function that comes with win7, omitting these cumbersome steps and speeding up our work efficiency. Credential Manager is such a system component that helps us with the authentication work when doing local access. In fact, this component is available from Vista, but undoubtedly the credential manager in Windows 7 is more functional and more practical.

Open “Control Panel> to display all control panel items, and you can find “Credential Manager”. Go to this page to see that by default,  Credential Manager” does not save any credentials. However, here we can add the "Windows Credentials", "Reseller-based Credentials", "Ordinary Credentials" these three types of credentials. Relatively speaking, “Windows Credentials” and “Ordinary Credentials” are used more. In particular, "Windows Credentials", we can add the credentials of the HomeGroup, the credentials of the remote desktop, shared credentials, and so on. As for the "Ordinary Credentials", we can add the application credentials of frequently visited sites, such as Windows Live. The method of adding credentials is very simple. To add “Windows Credentials, click the “Add Windows Credentials” link to go to the Add Credentials window. Here, we enter the name or URL address of the destination address (Internet address or network address), as well as the user name and password, and finally

Adding access credentials to the "Credential Manager" allows us to access our target site and facilitates our quick migration. Once the credentials have been added, we can save the credential information by clicking the “Backup Vaults link in the Credential Manager window. When you have installed a new system, or if we want to migrate it to another PC, click on the "Restore Vault" link in the Credential Manager window to restore it to the new system without having to add it repeatedly. It is. In this way, with the "Cryptographic Manager" function, we do not need to re-maintain the remote desktop list, and no longer need to separately record the HomeGroup automatic vivid password, which will greatly liberate the administrator.

The benefit of using this credential feature is convenience, but security measures are still very important. If these credentials are lost, it is also a headache. It is recommended that some of the more private, or manual input is better, although cumbersome, but the security is higher.
