Secure context
This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.
The credentials
property of the Navigator
interface returns the CredentialsContainer
interface, 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.
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. };
