Windows Credential Store keyring backend

This backend is the default on Windows. It uses the native Windows Credential API, and needs at least Windows XP to run.

Details

This backend supports multiple keyrings. Note that multiple keyrings are implemented in the keyring R package, using some dummy keyring keys that represent keyrings and their locked/unlocked state.

See backend for the documentation of the individual methods.
