NAME

Win32::Credentials - Read/Write Windows Credential Manager via Win32 API

SYNOPSIS

use Win32::Credentials qw(cred_write cred_read cred_delete);

# Store a secret
cred_write('My_App/My_password', 'myapp', 'secret123');

# Retrieve a secret
my $secret = cred_read('My_App/My_password');

# Retrieve secret and username
my ($secret, $user) = cred_read('My_App/My_password');

DESCRIPTION

Provides a simple Perl interface to the Windows Credential Manager (CredWriteW, CredReadW, CredDeleteW) via Win32::API. Secrets are protected by DPAPI (AES-256) tied to the current Windows user account.

No XS compilation required — uses Win32::API.

FUNCTIONS

cred_write($target, $username, $secret)

Stores a secret in the Windows Credential Manager. Maximum secret size: 512 bytes (CRED_TYPE_GENERIC limit).

cred_read($target)

Retrieves a secret. In list context returns ($secret, $username).

cred_delete($target)

Removes a credential from the vault.
