When a technician determines a password is not visible in Credential Manager, what might be the likely scenario?

The scenario in which the password is not visible in Credential Manager is often due to the fact that the credentials were saved using a different browser. Credential Manager is a feature integrated into Windows that stores usernames and passwords for various applications and browsers. If a user utilizes multiple browsers, a password saved in one browser will not appear in the Credential Manager under another browser's settings.

For example, if a password was saved in Chrome and the user is checking Credential Manager for passwords associated with Firefox, the password will not be visible there since each browser maintains its own storage mechanism for credentials. Therefore, it's essential to check the appropriate browser or application where the password was originally saved when troubleshooting missing credentials.

This context helps understand the interplay between browsers and how they handle passwords independently, leading to the visibility issue in Credential Manager.
