Instance methods

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