Credentials

The way the Windows Credential Manager works is a bit confusing at first - if you read up on the subject, you'll find both the terms "Vaults" and "Credentials". A "vault" essentially holds records of encrypted credentials and a reference to the encrypted blobs. Windows has two vaults: Web Credentials (for storing browser credentials) and Windows Credentials (for storing credentials saved by mstsc, etc). A "credential" is the actual encrypted credential blob.
