What is the Credential Manager?
Credential Manager is the "digital locker" where Windows stores log-in credentials (username, password, etc.) for other computers on your network, servers or Internet locations such as websites.
Windows 8 adds one more type of credentials called Web Credentials. As the name implies, such credentials are used by Internet Explorer to automatically log you into certain websites.

One way to use the Credential Manager is to export your Windows credentials to another Windows computer, or to back them up and import them after you reinstall Windows, so that you don’t have to manually type them again.
Backup Your Windows User Names and Passwords
Open the Credential Manager. Under the Windows Vault look for the "Back up vault" link and click on it.
This starts the Stored User Names and Passwords wizard.
You are asked to select where you want to backup the Windows credentials stored on your computer. Click on Browse, select the folder and type the name of the file where the data will be stored. Then, click Next.

This procedure has been tested both on Windows 7 and Windows 8. In Windows 8, there are some minor differences but it all works the same.
