FederatedCredential

Limited availabilitySecure context

The FederatedCredential interface of the Credential Management API provides information about credentials from a federated identity provider. A federated identity provider is an entity that a website trusts to correctly authenticate a user, and that provides an API for that purpose. OpenID Connect is an example of a federated identity provider framework.

[!NOTE] The Federated Credential Management API (FedCM) provides a more complete solution for handling identity federation in the browser, and uses the IdentityCredential type.

In browsers that support it, an instance of this interface may be passed in the credential member of the init object for global fetch().
