Navigator: credentials property

{{securecontext_header}}{{APIRef("Credential Management API")}}

The credentials read-only property of the {{domxref("Navigator")}} interface returns the {{domxref("CredentialsContainer")}} object associated with the current document, which exposes methods to request credentials. The {{domxref("CredentialsContainer")}} interface also notifies the user agent when an interesting event occurs, such as a successful sign-in or sign-out. This interface can be used for feature detection.

Value

A {{domxref("CredentialsContainer")}} object.

Examples

if ("credentials" in navigator) {
  navigator.credentials.get({ password: true }).then((creds) => {
    // Do something with the credentials.
  });
} else {
  // Handle sign-in the way you did before.
}
