File Explorer Credentials Question - Network Shares

mccnavy · Jan 1, 2024

I have an external hard drive attached to a home router (mini-NAS) that I use for sharing files. I have a username and password assigned. In Windows, whether using Samba (SMB1) or FTP, File Explorer offers the option to "save password" or "save credentials." I'm tempted to do that for convenience but where does it save those items and what would I do if I changed my mind and wanted to remove the saved password/credential? Thanks.

Do a search for Credentials.
That will take you to Control Panel/Credential Manager
2 columns there, Web & windows. It will be in Windows once set.
