Methods

CredentialsContainer.create()Secure context
Returns a Promise that resolves with a new Credential instance based on the provided options, or null if no Credential object can be created.
CredentialsContainer.get()Secure context
Returns a Promise that resolves with the Credential instance that matches the provided parameters.
CredentialsContainer.preventSilentAccess()Secure context
Sets a flag that specifies whether automatic log in is allowed for future visits to the current origin, then returns an empty Promise. For example, you might call this, after a user signs out of a website to ensure that he/she isn't automatically signed in on the next site visit. Earlier versions of the spec called this method requireUserMediation(). See Browser compatibility for support details.
CredentialsContainer.store()Secure context
Stores a set of credentials for a user, inside a provided Credential instance and returns that instance in a Promise.
