The IVsCredential type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	FeatureName	Gets or sets the feature name. Feature names are case-sensitive. (Inherited from IVsCredentialKey.)
	Resource	Gets or sets the credential resource name or URI. Resources are case-insensitive. (Inherited from IVsCredentialKey.)
	TokenValue	Gets or sets the last token value.
	Type	The type of the credential. This can be any app-specific value, but is intended to convey the authentication type. Therefore some examples might be: "Federated", "OAuth", "Windows", "Basic", "ServiceIdentity", "S2S". The type is case-insensitive. (Inherited from IVsCredentialKey.)
	UserName	Gets or sets the credential user name, user ID, or any app-specific unique value. The user name is case-insensitive. (Inherited from IVsCredentialKey.)

	Name	Description
	GetProperty	Gets a property related to the credential out of storage. The name cannot be null or empty, or whitespace. If the property cannot be found or the underlying credential has been deleted null will be returned. Property names are case insensitive
	RefreshTokenValue	Gets the token value (secret) for this credential. If the underlying credential has been deleted, TokenValue is an empty string, and false is returned.
	SetProperty	Se s a property related to the credential in storage. To remove a property, you must remove the token itself from storage. The name cannot be null or empty, or whitespace. The value cannot be null. If the underlying credential could not be found, false is returned. Setting the same name again will overwrite the property. Property names are case-insensitive
	SetTokenValue	Sets the token value (secret) for this credential. If the underlying credential has already been deleted it gets re-added with the new token value. The token cannot be null or empty, or whitespace.
