title: "Navigator: credentials property"

short-title: credentials

slug: Web/API/Navigator/credentials

page-type: web-api-instance-property

browser-compat: api.Navigator.credentials

---

The **`credentials`** read-only property of the {{domxref("Navigator")}} interface returns the {{domxref("CredentialsContainer")}} object associated with the current document, which exposes methods to request credentials. The {{domxref("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 {{domxref("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.

}

```
