When Would You Need This Tool?

The Windows Vault stores credentials silently in the background. Most users don't realize how many passwords Windows has saved on their behalf until they actually need them. Common situations include:

• Migrating to a new PC — You need to transfer saved credentials for network drives, mapped folders, or intranet portals to a new computer before decommissioning the old one.
• Recovering a forgotten password — You haven't typed a network share or Remote Desktop password in years because Windows always entered it automatically. Now you need to know the actual password.
• Accessing legacy web credentials — An old password for a company intranet, router admin panel, or internal web app that was saved through Internet Explorer.
• IT administration — Auditing stored credentials on managed Windows machines as part of a security review or user account migration.
• Before formatting — Extracting all saved credentials from a Windows installation before a clean reinstall to ensure nothing is lost.

What Is Windows Vault?

Windows Vault is the user-facing name for the Windows Credential Manager, a secure storage system built into Windows that saves usernames and passwords for you. When you check "Remember my credentials" on a network share, Remote Desktop connection, or website in Internet Explorer or Edge Legacy — Windows stores those details in the Vault so you don't have to re-enter them.

The Vault is organized into two main sections:

• Web Credentials — Usernames and passwords saved by Internet Explorer and legacy Microsoft Edge when browsing websites.
• Windows Credentials — Network passwords, Remote Desktop credentials, and other application-stored logins (OneDrive, SharePoint, mapped drives, etc.).

Windows Vault vs Windows Credentials: What's the Difference?

SterJo Software offers two separate tools for Windows credential recovery, and it's worth understanding the difference:

SterJo Windows Vault Passwords (this tool) focuses on the Vault's web credentials and certificate-based entries — particularly those saved through Internet Explorer and older Edge. It is the right choice when you need to recover passwords for websites and web-based applications that were accessed through Microsoft's legacy browsers.

SterJo Windows Credentials focuses on Windows Credentials — network passwords, Remote Desktop logins, and credentials used by Windows applications like OneDrive. If you need to recover a mapped drive password or a Remote Desktop password, start there.

When in doubt, try both tools — they cover different parts of the Credential Manager and together give you a complete picture of what Windows has stored.
