In the login page of the Infor OS Add-In for Excel it is possible to save username and password. Where are these stored? Is there a way to manage them and delete old usernames/passwords?
Hi Enrico, Yes it is possible to save username and password in the Excel-Add. The credentials are stored in the WebView2 user-data folder used by Office, not in your normal Edge profile. When you login to a tenant for the first time you will see an option to save the password.
Once you save a password, the details will be added in your local system in the following path. ex: C:\Users\ssinguri\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Wef\webview2 The details are cached inside one of the folders so there is no way to add more passwords. If a password is added through the browser UI then to delete it you will have to delete the folder inside the path specified. Hope this helps.
Hi Suchith,
Yes it did help. I had first to close all Office apps (including Outlook), then I was able to rename the webview2 folder to something "OLD", and when I reopened Outlook and then Excel they recreated the webview2 folder with its contents, but the credentials in the add-in were gone. Afterwards I have deleted the old webview2 folder.
For the records, I have found also a few articles on the web regarding this:

Thanks and best,
Enrico
