wincred

Low-alloc interaction with the Windows Credential Manager and the DPAPI.

WCM

Compat down to netstandard2.0 (using System.Memory and Microsoft.Bcl.HashCode) with additional TFMs for even better perf where available.

Offers nearly every feature you could ever want from WCM while keeping allocations low, exposing nothing but Span<> (or custom ref structs) wherever possible and sensible:

  • Read and write credentials
  • Enumerate credentials ("give me everything under myapp/*")
  • Persistence support
  • Attribute support

DPAPI

Direct access to the DPAPI, independent of the credential store:

  • Text encryption/decryption suitable for text storage (advapi32's CredProtect/CredUnprotect/CredIsProtected)
  • Arbitrary binary encryption/decryption (crypt32's CryptProtectData/CryptUnprotectData)

Quick Start

Runnable examples covering writes/reads/enumeration/deletion, raw binary secrets, attributes, and DPAPI live in Examples/Examples.cs. Build the solution and run the Examples project to try them immediately:

dotnet run --project Examples
