Thanks Johannes for your reply. What do you mean by "unsafe"? Not useful in the modern world of 2FA? Doch! You can use git-credential-wincred to store OAuth credentials [1]. For storage, both git-credential-wincred and Git Credential Manager use the same wincred.h CredWrite API [2]. This is surely preferable to plaintext git-credential-store [3].
