Detailed Description

The Credentials element contains the information about an account's credentials. Informations like user name and password are stored into the account's secret storage via this object. If the credentialsId property is set to a valid credentials ID (which can be obtained via the AccountService's authData.credentialsId property) the Credentials element will load the informations stored in the secrets database, with the notable exception of the secret field, which cannot be read back via this interface (but only via the AccountService::authenticate method); if the credentialsId field is not set, then this interface can be used to create a new record in the secrets storage, by calling the sync() method once all the desired fields have been set.
