 Credential (Experimental)
==============================================

**org.freedesktop.portal.experimental.Credential**

Portal to request web credentials.

**Interface**: ``org.freedesktop.portal.experimental.Credential``

**Version**: Experimental 🧪

The Credential portal allows applications to request web
credentials. The user will be prompted to select a credential,
which the application can use to authenticate. The design of this portal
is highly inspired by the `W3C Credential Management API`_ and the related
credential type specifications.

Currently the only supported credential type is WebAuthn
credentials.

Credentials are created by
`org.freedesktop.portal.experimental.Credential.CreateCredential`_
and retrieved by
`org.freedesktop.portal.experimental.Credential.GetCredential`_.

The D-Bus interface for the Credential portal is available
under the bus name ``org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop`` and the
object path ``/org/freedesktop/portal/desktop``.
