How it Works?
Windows 'Credential Store' support following different type of network secrets.
  • Domain Password
  • Generic Password
  • Domain Visible Password / .NET Passport
  • Certificates
Each of these types have different level of access and follow different encryption mechanism. For example 'Generic Passwords' can be decrypted by corresponding users directly. However decryption of domain passwords require special privilege and can be decrypted only in the context of system process, LSASS.exe.

This makes it easy for application to choose suitable type of encryption mechanism for storing their login passwords.

Windows allows application to manage these network passwords using Credential Management API functions to store and retrieve the passwords. Except passwords of Domain type all other passwords can be retrieved using such functions. Decrypting domain type passwords require special technique of executing entire decryption operation in the core of LSASS process using undocumented functions.
