This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The credentials property of the Navigator interface returns the CredentialsContainer interface which exposes methods to request credentials and notify the user agent when interesting events occur such as successful sign in or sign out. This interface can be used for feature detection.
Syntax
var credentialsContainer = Navigator.credentials
Value
The CredentialsContainer interface.
Example
if ('credentials' in navigator) {
navigator.credentials.get({password: true})
.then(function(creds) {
//Do something with the credentials.
});
} else {
//Handle sign-in the way you did before.
};
