Instance methods

CredentialsContainer.create(): Returns a Promise that resolves with a new Credential instance based on the provided options, or null if no Credential object can be created. In exceptional circumstances, the Promise may reject.
CredentialsContainer.get(): Returns a Promise that resolves with the Credential instance that matches the provided parameters.
CredentialsContainer.preventSilentAccess(): Sets a flag that specifies whether automatic log in is allowed for future visits to the current origin, then returns an empty Promise. For example, you might call this, after a user signs out of a website to ensure that they aren't automatically signed in on the next site visit. Earlier versions of the spec called this method requireUserMediation(). See Browser compatibility for support details.
CredentialsContainer.store(): Stores a set of credentials for a user, inside a provided Credential instance and returns that instance in a Promise.
