title: Storing Credentials in Credential Manager Service
body: <p>I have some credentials (username and a password), and I cannot figure out where to store them.</p>
  
  <p>I heard about an application storing credentials in the Windows Credential Service, so I looked into this option. It seemed ideal. Just store sensitive information in a Windows Service, and not have to worry about storing them in your own registry key.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, I soon found out this was not so simple. The only help I found in MSDN was in C.  I then thought I must have been mistaken, but then I downloaded Cain, and saw an entry for decoding credential manager passwords.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to use this feature in .NET? Please let me know.</p>
