For example, user agents have a particularly hard time dealing with federated identity providers or esoteric sign-in mechanisms that use more than just a username and password. To address these problems, the Credential Management API provides ways for a website to store and retrieve different types of password credentials. This give users capabilities such as seeing the federated account they used to sign on to a site, or resuming a session without the explicit sign-in flow of an expired session.", "sections": [{"id": "Credential_management_concepts_and_usage", "title": "Credential management concepts and usage"}, {"id": "Use_with_fetch", "title": "Use with fetch"}, {"id": "Interfaces", "title": "Interfaces"}, {"id": "Specifications", "title": "Specifications"}, {"id": "Browser_compatibility", "title": "Browser compatibility"}], "slug": "Web/API/Credential_Management_API", "review_tags": ["technical"]}
