Navigator: credentials property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The credentials read-only property of the Navigator interface returns the CredentialsContainer object associated with the current document, which exposes methods to request credentials. The 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 CredentialsContainer object.

Examples

js
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.
}
