CredentialsContainer.get

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The get() method of the CredentialsContainer interface returns a Promise to a Credential instance that matches the provided parameters.

This method is restricted to top-level contexts. Calls to it within an <iframe> element will resolve without effect.

Syntax

var promise = CredentialsContainer.get([options])

Parameters

options Optional
An object that sets options to look for among the credentials in the CredentialsContainer. The available options are:
  • password: a Boolean indicating that returned Credential instances should include user (as opposed to federated) credentials.
  • federated: An object containing requirements for returned federated credentials. The available options are:
    • providers: An array of DOMString instances of identity providers to search for.
    • protocols An array of DOMString instances of federation protocols to search for.
  • mediation: A String indicating whether the user will be required to log on for every visit to the website. Valid values are "silent", "optional", or "required".
  • unmediated: A Boolean indicating the returned Credential instance should not require user mediation.

Returns

A Promise that resolves with a Credential instance that matches the provided parameters.
